What To Expect When Swimming With Dolphins

If you love dolphins, there are plenty of resorts and facilities that allow you to get up close to these amazing animals. Here’s what to expect on your swim.

Expect to get more when you pay more. Group experiences cost much less than individual experiences, but you’ll get less time with the dolphins in a group and may not get time to interact individually with the dolphins at all.

Expect to wear a life jacket. Those dolphins are strong, the tank is deep, and you could be treading water for a long time. Even if you’re a strong swimmer, you’ll usually be required to wear a life jacket.

Expect some physical activity. Most dolphin swimming experiences require some physical coordination and strength, as well as some endurance and swimming ability.

Expect a trainer-facilitated experience. There should be a trainer with you at all times to ensure a safe and fun experience.

Expect the dolphins to be wild animals. They might be well trained, but dolphins are still unpredictable. You’ll need to be gentle with them, keep your movements slow and nonthreatening, and avoid harassing the dolphins.

Expect some excitement. Swimming with the dolphins is exciting, there’s no question about it—and it’s not an experience you’re likely to forget anytime soon.

Swimming with the dolphins is an amazing experience—and one everyone should try once in their lifetime. If you love animals, are a strong swimmer, and are reasonably balanced and coordinated, you’re sure to have an unforgettable experience.
