The Fairy Penguin (Eudyptula minor) is known to dive as deep as 60 feet and remain submerged for as long as 60 seconds. So they can swim at a rate of two feet per second. That's 60 feet down, and 60 feet returning to the surface, in one minute.

Puffins can fly at up to 55 MPH, and they are also pretty agile underwater, where they move mostly at a fast walk --- say 5 or even 10 MPH in bursts.

They can stay down for up to a minute. For a video of a swimming puffin, see this: http://www.puffinpalooza.com/tag/how-well-can-a-puffin-swim/
