Will a man born ever be born who can swim faster than a shark?

I would have to say no. Atleast not with out help from an artificial help. Man is not a water creature and the shark was born for it. A shark can swim faster than any man can run.

yes i was in Tobago 2003 in the man of war bay. I was in a canoe.It was also my first time trying this sport. I was told no sharks come into the bay yet this one did. It was jumping out of the water rather close to me, Scared me silly. Unfortunately a few days later the local fishermen caught one. a hammer head shark. Lovely to look at but would have been better if it was alive in the sea.

This is weird. I can swim great but when i was 12 (i'm now 18), i was in a pool and my friends brother jumped on top of me and started choking me underwater. I guess mine would have to be drowing.

The answer is a combination of several factors.\n\nThe skin is designed so as to limit "wrinkling" while swimming. (hydrodynamics) If u look at the skin closely, they consist of placoid scales which r smooth in one direction (swimming direction), and rough in the other direction.\n\nSharks r seriously buffed up, which aids in generating work.\n\nFins stabilise the body to prevent it from swimming upside down or in a circle\n\nThey belong to the chondrichthyes... cartilaginous fishes. This skeletal system is lighter than boney frames and allows for greater flexibility. Both characteristics COULD help in swimming. (There r, however, many fast marine animals with boney frames such as the dolphin or swordfish).\n\nThe tail is the main propulsion force. Which works in coordination with it's respiratory and circulatory system. As water passes over the gills, the lamellae r oxygenated, and at the same time release waste products (co2). So, if the shark swims slowly, the respiration rate decreases... and if he doesn't swim at all, he suffocates. I guess sharks swim fast because they have to. Haha. I hope that's helpful.

Well, I’m quite sure that anyone can learn how to swim. Just remember to have motivation in learning how to swim. Practice is also very important. And in any swimming method you learn, before swimming or while preparing to swim, just remember to RELAX. Try to make you body one with the water---treat swimming and the water like a bed where you can relax and be you----then I’m quite sure that with all these techniques, you will be able to learn how to swim quickly. I hope this info. helps! Take care! God Bless!

Either a slick shark or a dolphin. Sharks are amazing creatures which live for hundreds of years and dolphins are just awesome

Being a Great White Shark would be awesome...I'd be able to sense a heartbeat through the water, and I could smell blood a mile away. I'd never have to worry about dental care!

Yes, pregnancy can happen. Sperm can live, mmmm, I forget, but I want to say 24-48 hr.\n\nI stand corrected, can't live out in the air, I guess, but I do know they sure can swim!

Not yet, but scientists are working on it. Scientists have successfully grown eggs out of sperm cells in fish (see article). One day it will be possible for gays and lesbians to have biological children.\n\nhttp://www.livescience.com/animalworld/060206_fish_story.html

No.  Lobsters are faster.

Animals evolve to suit their habitats. Monkeys have tails that allow them to grip whilst brachiating through trees.\nMy point is, if an animal is to be born in a place with water then technically it should evolve to be able to swim. If an animal such as a desert creature was to be evolved then it wouldnt need to be able to swim. So no, not all animals can swim because they dont need to so they didnt need to be created that way.\n\nHope that helps!

no.  However, safety in numbers, hopefully you know how to swim, always obey posted signs and always obey the life guard.  Swimmers ability is always a factor but should not be the only factor.
