Perhaps the question must be then is Michael Phelps (or whoever) faster on it? If he or someone else breaks the record with it, he's going beyond human level speed. Until then this may only have the potential to do so. I imagine the first bikes were slower than the top runners of the time? I see potential for the idea. |

Nope. He would be horrible with this device. That would be like asking a champion sprinter to compete in a wheelchair race. He would be using totally different muscles, legs rather than arms, and get schooled by most everyone with a longer history. A champion bicycle rider would do better on this contraption than any champion swimmer.
(Due to water's density, champion speed swimming is also 80% technique and body shape rather than muscle/cardio. So until the technique is developed, nobody would be "good" with this thing.)
