Fin Pal asks Norman “Are You Fast?”

Goldfish Fact: Goldfish can swim up to .86 mph. More than four times their body length per second. The fastest human in the world can swim up to 2 meters per second, that’s not quite one body length, in the same time. Think about it, size-to-size, Goldfish swim 3 times faster than humans!

If your curious to learn how fast some other fish swim, click over to this post comparing Olympic Gold Medal-winning swimmer “Michael Phelps To Race A Shark”—but not now!

But first here’s a speed racer goldfish drawing by our 2nd grade friend, Brianna.

And now, finally… this time for real…no fish hooks …Ready! Set! Read!

Whoops: Forgot to tell you about that “I Have a Cat” picture at the top of the post. One of Norman’s finpals sent it. Isn’t it fintastic!!!

Do you have a question for Norman the Goldfish- about friends, school, pets, family, life in and outside the fishbowl?

Do you have a finny fish joke to share?

Send Norman a letter!
