Interesting sport, first time seeing it. This is 40sec faster than 400m freestyle Olympic Gold time. Equipment for staying underwater and fins help for sure !
I am genuinely greatly intrigued with this sport, never seen it in my life, I really enjoyed the Olympic Swim Competition however this would have made a unique test event, thank you for sharing as many people simply do not know this exists. The ladies have kind of turned themselves into something other than a human, they have taken on an animal form. Thanks again!
They do this totally underwater also, holding a small scuba tank in front of them. The swimmers are actually faster than this, resembling colorful torpedoes.
I seen this before, I was waiting to see it becomes a mainstream sport and finally it has. For the longest time I’ve been wondering when humans were going to catch on to what sea creatures already were doing? That one large fin is in every way better than individual fins per feet? Finally we’ve caught on. Bravo people bravo.🤷🏻♂️👍💯🙂
Is the length of the snorkle tube regulated? seems like they have to time their out breaths to clear the snorkle. Defiantly add another level of skill. Amazing sport though.
I've never seen this event before, thank you for posting this.
I as well
Very interesting!

Never heard of this sport in my life. How interesting! Thank you for the education.
This event should be selected more than Breakin’ in the Olympic !
Agreed 👍💯
They're all doped, that's the problem. And of course u're innocent until proven guilty.
They should make an event that has both.
Very Interesting... Underwater view would be great
What the heck was that? Really fast,snorkeling, mermaid swimming thing ?
Spot on champ!
Looks like we're in this together brother ✊🏼
Man from Atlantis swim. Who'd a thunk it
Thanks for posting this interesting sport!
Looks hot as hell in that facility. They need to let the attendees jump in the pool between races.
Great to watch never seen it before I would love to have a go but a bit old now but definitely when I was younger.

Looks like mermaid training.
This is a new sport to me - it looks challenging and fun!
Amazingly incredible!
Wow!! This is what I do for fun when swimming. Had no idea it was a recognized sport!!!
Thankß for this, i have not seen this this before ❤
What in the holy hell is this event? Where’s Ariel?
I a, a former AAU swimmer and I've never seen this!😮
Kooky.
Very Cool 👍
Looks completely exhausting 😳
😮good lord, this is FAST swimming. Never seen this before.
We could be seeing a Future Olympic Event 👍
How many points just to get the fins on and get on your feet?
Never was a good swimmer, but when I first put on fins, a mask and snorkel it was magic. Like being a dolphin.
They do this totally underwater also, holding a small scuba tank in front of them. The swimmers are actually faster than this, resembling colorful torpedoes.
Amazing
As a swimmer, I like the snorkels.
What happened to the US?

on behalf of the people, THANKS!
Mermaids at the Olympics! Who'd'a thunk! 😄
Hey, we have cheerleaders and skateboarders so why not?
On ESPN 8 The Ocho.
Like it !
Thank you! Cheers!
So this is harder or easier than freestyle swimming? Or maybe just different? It looks more strenuous.
It is certainly different. It requires more core strength.
400m freestyle women world record is 3:55.38 seconds. And finswimming here is 3:14.13.
Dolphin kick race with a mono-fin...no butterfly arms, no breathing above waterline...very fish - like ! 😎👍🐬
Is this style more physically difficult than the other usual strokes? Does the lumbar region take a bashing?
It’s like watching submarines race from the shore!
Such an exciting event. I think the commentators were getting sleepy.
What will the sports industry come up with next Competitive Drowning?
here: th-cam.com/video/UeQgwt3lD0Q/w-d-xo.html
They didn't just come up with this, it has been on a world championship level since the 1970s.
from which country is the winner?
Is the length of the snorkle tube regulated? seems like they have to time their out breaths to clear the snorkle. Defiantly add another level of skill. Amazing sport though.
@@ragewild Yes it is regulated. :)
Just one wrong breath intake and you're cooked .
cool. Never saw this before.
No underwater camera?
Would be awesome.
THANK YOU !! , THANK YOU!!, THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!!! 😊
Check out that race with air tank and fins done completely underwater
1st Ive seen this as well... .when do they breath !?!
For real ! When do they inhale!
unisex?
Seems more natural than fin swimming with bottled oxygen. Though, both are interesting.
Just training my pet dolphins for this event next year..WTF
Wow!
This is a competitive sport?
It looks like the video's of killer whales chasing boats! They have to have some insanely strong legs. Im a fan
My snorkle got plugged. My mask broke. My fin slipped off. The End.
Why?
Why not?
Why have bicycle races when we already have running?
WoW
What is this?
You would be shocked 😲, but this is Finswimming.
People without arms would have a chance at this sport.
The winner becomes the next little mermaid at Disney
'the will of the people' 🔱🧜♀️
What are all the judges looking for?
Short answer is that the swimmers obey the requlations. You can view the Finswimming Rules on the CMAS official page if you are curious enough.
Why dont they use arms?
They identify as fins
Arms would just slow them down
Because it's not the butterfly! Whole different thing with just the kick...challenging!
Wtf is Goin on here?
Maybe in the ocean just seems over kill in a pool
@@jimmyconway8025 hey it's a sport! That's what's going on!
To explain this to a space alien ...
Why, are they underachievers in legitimate swimming?
What in the world
es git nüt, wos ned git!
Mermaid Championship
Weird
LMFAO !!!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
True mermaids!
Слава России! Вы можете запретить флаг России и гимн,но мы всё равно побеждаем.
I’d rather watch Australian breakdancing
So, like if a swimmer snorkel girl don't like her date..she just slaps on tha' ol snorkel... or wha'?
Very weird for sure.
Who comes up with this sh%# ??????
here you go: th-cam.com/video/UeQgwt3lD0Q/w-d-xo.html
Next, they’ll have exotic pole dancing. 🤦♂️
No so mature bright commentators
они просто плывут за счет трахания воды
Why
Why not?
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 WTH
Those masks need streamlining... like cyclists.
Is this a joke, or what? Keep the mermaid crap at tourist attractions or the movies.
Said a guy watching a video on TH-cam
This is the stupidest swimming test I've ever seen.
@@JoseSilva_ thank you for sharing your opinion. Means a lot .
A sport for mermaid wannabes.
Are Mermen allowed to participate in women's competition?
Find me a merman and we will discuss it.
*Technically, a mermaid would be classified as a fish, so that's Debatable.*
@@radicalrick9587 If the Merman identifies as a Mermaid, I don't see the problem.
@@RobertoSiffredi-xy1nc *In today, Society, it probably won't be.*
Silly
this isn’t a sport!
Well it actually is. :) Get out of your bubble.
Ridiculously boring!
Ah this is crap!
Go Ukrainian
What a ridiculous and stupid competition.😱 Why don’t they also attach wings or propeller?
What’s next? They dive into the water and jump on a jet ski?
Sounds fun. You should try it.
@@FinswimmingVideos not a bad idea! You planning on joining me? Need some competition with it!
Who dreamt this one up. Captain Crunch?
