Injured dolphin gets a monfin from Bridgestone so she can swim again!

Finally I scooped Timed Finals: A dolphin by the name of Fuji had her tail-fin attacked by a mystery disease and four years ago two thirds of her tail fin had to be amputated. Well, a couple vets and the Bridgestone tire company totally hooked her up with a new monofin. You can read the story and even see a video of her swimming with it: [Link]

Sanctioned Underwater Swim Events In Russia

Two events are included in this video, both an underwater 50 meter sprint kick and a 400 meter kick. In both events the swimmers are allowed to wear monofins and consequently the times are insane.

In the 400 event oxygen tanks are allowed and they carried while maintaining a stream line position in front of the swimmers. Watch how dramatic the flip turns are.
