No scientific research actually shows that dolphins are faster then sharks for one reason. They can swim about 24 miles an hour next to a boat for ten to thirty minutes which a shark could only swim for a short amount of time to catch it's food. It's like a speed boost. So dolphins are faster then sharks!
