| Non-Structured or Open Dolphin Swimming |
| We now offer an non-structured swim. The non-structured swim takes place daily, 7 days a week. During these sessions, we allow a limited number of snorkelers into the water with the dolphins. This program is not designed for non- swimmers. Participants need to be comfortable in deep water over their heads and have prior use of mask, fins and snorkel. Being able to swim and dive underwater is always a plus. Floatation devices cannot be used. Since the dolphins in these sessions are not trained, nor doing behaviors in exchange for food, contact cannot be guaranteed. The dolphins set the pace, and contact is up to them. You should plan on spending at least two hours with us. The program begins with a one hour educational briefing about dolphins. Topics include information on natural history, anatomy, sonar and echolocation, and physiology. The briefing also covers information on how swimmers should conduct themselves in the water and also helpful hints on initiating play with the dolphins. |
