A lot has been written about Olympics, swimming and most recently Michael Phelps. What I'm gonna be writing about for the next 2 minutes is also very much swimming related. Lunocet Monofin, the name doesnt really say anything to make sense of what the product is, so I'll elaborate. Designed by Ted Ciamillo, the 42-inch carbon-fiber monofin acts much like a dolphin tail. When strapped to feet, it increases surface area and moves on a pivot to produce thrust on both up and down movements when kicking. Wrapped in silicone, the fin moves quickly through the water with less drag and, although it weighs 2.5 lbs on land, it is completely buoyant in water.

Going by what the makers are saying, this contraption will help you achieve a speed of up to eight mph and also propel yourself out of the water. Unbelievable till tried. Recently pushed into production, the Lunocet ranges from $1250 to $1800 depending on configuration and orders can be placed at Lunocet.
