It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Super cool, bu are they faster/more efficent than a good pair of diving fins?

They don't discuss specific speeds, but this is from the last paragraph:

This jigger, according to the manufacturers, makes you handily quicker than an equivalent swimmer with fins on.

What's "handily quicker"? A lot quicker? A good phrase for selling a novelty product?

I have to wonder how the Seabike, as shown exclusively in a swimming pool rather than any of the many seas on the planet, actually performs.

What's "handily quicker"?

About 30 long bananes per hour.
