They can and do leap into water. It's only a second, but looks like flight. Add some music, and they will "fly" into and through the ocean. Think magic. Good Luck

Penguins are superbly adapted to a marine life. Their wings have evolved into powerful flippers which propel them through the water very rapidly. If you watch film of penguins swimming, they look as though they are flying through the water. Penguins manage very well without flight as do many other flightless birds.
There is a size limit to birds which can use their wings for both flight and propulsion through the water. The auks of the northern hemisphere do this. The largest are the guillemots which are about the same size as the little penguin, the smallest of the penguins. There was an auk, the great auk, which was much larger than the current auks but it was flightless. The last was killed in the 1860s.

There is a children's book that is about a penguin who asks Santa Claus for wings to fly with. When Santa comes to his home to bring presents, his sled falls into an icy lake and the little penguin saves the day by pulling the sled to the shore. Then he gets to fly in Santa's sled as a reward for saving the sled and Santa. You couldn't really use that, but it might give you some ideas of how a penguin could possibly fly.

Rocket boots. A benevolent researcher should give the penguin rocket boots.

No. The wings are for navigating through the water and messing with other penguins (i.e. pushing them off of ice floes, etc.). . . .

penguins have been seen exhibiting the same motions of other birds in flight under water using their wings
