It has long been thought that birds and fish form into flocks and schools to take advantage of flows. It is now shown that flapping bodies not only move faster when grouped together but that the flows also help to arrange, or order, the members. This suggests that a school can be viewed as a ``swimming crystal'' of fish organized by flows.
