Air Swimmers

If you are the sort of person that often finds themselves saying "Wow, I wish I had a remote controlled flying fish about now", then you are in for a treat. Air Swimmers are a wonderfully surreal blend of remote controlled blimp and fishy swimming action.

There are two models of Air Swimmer available: A friendly nemo-esque clown fish and a rather more sinister looking Shark. Your choice of Airswimmer will presumably depend on whether you motives are to entertain or terrify.

What is wonderful about Air Swimmers is that they are not just fish shaped blimps. As you fly them with the remote control their tails swish back and forth to create movement and a surprisingly convincing swimming effect.
