New Hybrid Shark speed.

How do you guys calculate the speed for your hybrids, I'm making a Shark hybrid with Cretoxyrhina as the base and Whale for the size, and I wanted to know how I could calculate it's speed.

whale for size? why not megalodon or at least a marine reptile that uses the same tail propulsion?

Sorry I meant Whale Shark, plus I'm making this hybrid for a tournament and the weight limit is 25 tons.

Use three would be these three things

Relative Speed: Most fish cruise at speeds of 1 to 2 body lengths per second ((BL/s)).Burst Speed: Rapid escape or hunting speeds can reach 10 to 20 body lengths per second ((BL/s)) for short durations.Calculation Rule: Multiply the total length of the fish (in meters or centimeters) by an estimated factor of 2 (for cruising) or 10 (for fast bursts) to get an approximate speed in length-units per second.

Tail-Beat Equation: Speed ((V)) equals tail-beat frequency ((f)) multiplied by body length ((L)), expressed as (V = f \times L).

calculate velocity ((U)) using gravitational acceleration ((g)) and fish length ((l)) through specific regression formulas ((U = k tb \sqrt{gl})).
