Structured Dolphin Swim Programs

Our Structured dolphin swims are offered daily at 8:30 am, 12:45 pm, and 3:00 pm. This is not a snorkeling with dolphins program, but participants need to be able to swim, and feel comfortable in 10 - 15 feet of water wearing a flotation device. Swimmers should plan on spending at least 2 hours here at Dolphins Plus with us.

The Structured Dolphins Swim program begins with an educational briefing that lasts 45 minutes to one hour. The briefing will cover some information on bottlenose dolphins in general, specifics about the bottlenose dolphin at our facility, and the various dolphin interactions you can expect during your dolphin swim program. After the briefing the class will be split into smaller groups, each group on its own platform.

The swimmers in each group will take turns entering the water and interacting hands-on with the dolphins. Each swimmer will complete a series of behaviors, which may vary depending on the dolphins and trainer. Dolphin swims continue until each swimmer has completed all behaviors. One on one contact is guaranteed. This program does not involve any free swimming or snorkeling with the dolphins. All interaction is guided by a trainer.

Swimmers must be at least 7 years old to participate. Swimmers age 7 to 12 years must be accompanied by a participating parent or guardian 18 or older. Swimmers age 13 to 17 must be accompanied at the facility by a participating or observing parent or guardian age 18 or older.
