Swimming Shark Balloon is Amazing, Mesmerizing

by Max Eddy | 11:39 am, August 16th, 2011

Today in “Things I Should Have Asked Friends to Get Me for My Birthday,” we have Air Swimmers: The balloons that swim. Apparently powered only by their swishing tails, these fish-shaped balloons float preposterously around any room you care to keep them in. While similar concepts have been floating around for a while, these seem to be the first to come to market.

There are currently two models of Air Swimmers, Clown Fish and Shark, which are made of reusable mylar and controlled via IR remote. Sadly, the makers of this ingenious toy seem to have underestimated its potential and aren’t taking orders at the moment. Hopefully, that will change soon.

Curious what a swimming balloon is good for? Continue on below for some rather impressive videos. Turns out floating sharks are surprising!

These are actually very good, the only issue is finding somewhere to blow them up for free we found Tesco can do it, they did it for £1 which is not that bad.

Everyone I showed it to loved it. However, the tail electric motor or battery died after about 4 hours. Did anyone else have this problem? I bought mine direct from Hong Kong.

where in Hong Kong did you purchase your air swimmer? I live here and have been looking everywhere to purchase! Thanks.

Take a gander.

Eric Limer [Rant warning] I've said it before, and it's worth repeating: "Opinionated" is not a compliment. It's not even value-neutral; it's bad.
