Talk:Peak Human Speed/@comment-43862243-20190918090259

If this is supposed to be peak human speed then i think the land speed should be 30 - 40 mph as some scientist do believe the human body can potentially reach 40 mph. Also isn't 12 - 15 knots about about 13 to 17 mph in the water? That seems a bit fast to me considering the fastest speed I know of for a human to hit in the water is about 5.5 mph without swimming gear, and about 8.8 mph with swimming gear. That is about 4 to 5 knots i believe and with the fin it be about 7 to 8 knots. So at the very least i think the swimming speed should be lowered to somewhere between 7 ta 10 knots.

Note: I do not know what the max speed feats for non-super humans is. For example, idk if batman has some feat where he swam 13 knots without the aid of flippers or some gadget.
