Who’s faster? An Olympic swimmer or a sea turtle? 🐢 🏊 Sea turtles can swim up to 22 mph (35 km/hr), although they are usually found swimming at slower rates. Michael Phelps, 28 time Olympic medalist, has a top speed of about 8 mph (12.87 kph). We will be placing our bets on the sea turtles this Olympics! 😉🐢🏊 Video: @olmariela, Vida Marine Sea Turtle Conservation Program #greenseaturtle #olympics #swimming #swim #olympics24 #parisolympics #seaturtle #funfactfriday
