I take my nephew to swim lessons every week because, as much as I love him, I love him more on the other side of a glass wall where I cannot hear him.

Each class has a mascott: Sharks, barracudas, dolphins, etc.

Level four is starfish.

How fast do starfish swim?

I guess that is better than barnacle, though.
