Dolphin Swim Physical Requirements
As we operate a wild dolphin swim experience at times getting in and out of the water can be fast paced, therefore it is a requirement that anyone participating in the dolphin swim should be able to get in and out of the water with little assistance.
We also use a floatation line during the swim, so upper body strength is required to hold onto the line whilst the boat is moving at a slow pace.
The swim is not recommended for people who are not comfortable using a mask and snorkel and having their heads in the water, if this is the case we suggest the dolphin watch may be more enjoyable.
The dolphin swim is not available for those who have a pace maker, unfortunately the shark shields can cause disruptions
