California sea lions have been known to dive 1000 feet deep; however, most dives are less than 100 feet. Most often California sea lions swim a few miles per hour underwater. They can swim 25 mph in short bursts by “porpoising” or leaping out of the water to increase speed.

West Indian manatees can swim up to 20 miles per hour (mph) in short bursts, but they usually only swim about three to five mph. See similar questions...

They are actually saving energy by jumping. When chased by a speedboat, dolphins have been clocked at speeds of 7.3 m/s (14.6 knots, 26. See similar questions...
