Have you ever swam with dolphins?

Yes.\n\nIt was amazing.\n\nI tapped my hand on top of the water and the female presented her dorsal fin for me to grab onto and be carried around.\n\nAnother signal had the male dolphin push me through the water Superman style by putting his nose on the bottom of my foot.

Dolphins represents knowledge.  And if you a colleting them, you have a strong desire to achieve knowledge!!!!  is that correct in your case!!!!???

ooohh you had to bring up those 70's sea monkey's! What do you think brought me to Florida? Those damn sea monkey's thats who...They grew into 420lb. creatures no very cute I might add. The rumors started by the town folk in Pennsylvania and they all showed up at the farm at night with torches and pitch forks with the sheriff and the mayor. I had to put them aboard my truck and transport them to the swamp here for their own safety. I didn't have the heart to leave em there..they look sorta like sea horses. They swim with the manatees now!

I'm pretty sure that they do. However, if memory serves correctly, dolphins are the only animals that have sex for pleasure(other than humans).

Most mammals are able to swim if they absolutely have to.  It's true that some might drown while attempting to, but that doesn't mean that the species itself can't swim.  Dolphins and seals sometimes drown too, but no one would say they can't swim.\n\nHow well a particular species of mammal can swim depends a lot on their physiology.\n\nAnimals with higher density of muscle than fat tend to sink instead of swimming.  Even if they have the limb mobility and strength that should be allow swimming, they have tremendous difficulty keeping above water.  Most primates actually fit into this category.  Chimpanzees in particular tend to sink like a stone in water, and avoid swimming at all costs.  Humans are very unusual in their ability to swim, and affinity for water (which raises a whole other set of questions, but that's another topic).\n\nIf they don't have much fat, thick fur can also help keep a mammal afloat.  Dense underfur traps air and can act like a flotation device.  Baby sea otters actually have difficulty diving because their fur traps so much air that they can't swim hard enough to reach the bottom.  Once again primates, with their thin, sparse coating of hair lose out on the flotation front.\n\nAnother factor is limb mobility.  Critters that can't move their arms and legs as swiftly or don't have enough surface area to push water aside tend to be crappy swimmers.  Anteaters tend not to be great swimmers, and camels aren't likely to win any swim meets either.\n\nIn general, mammals are pretty good swimmers.  Most mammals have some fat, most of them have hair or fur to trap air, and they have the limb mobility to move around.  Mammals can also close their mouths or noses and block their breathing passages so they don't take water in.  Critters like insects and spiders don't have that option, and unless they have other adaptations they tend to drown fairly easily.

I have done it twice at Sea World Orlando. It is not just specifically swimming with dolphins though it was a trainer for a day and marine mammal keeper program. All of the Seaworlds have these programs and there is a SeaWorld Texas in San Antionio and SeaWorld California in San Deigo. California also has Marineland. The other one I know about is the Discovery Cove in Orlando Florida which is specifically designed for people who want to swim with dolphins.

Ya,when I was little I jumped in a pool w&#92;o my parents around.The pool was 5 ft deep, I wanted to go on the slide...so I climbed the stairs and then when I got to the top,I didn't want to go down...but I slipped and feel in the 5ft. water...I couldn't swim...I saw these girls by the water fountain and they were taking pictures."I said Help"But they couldn't hear me then i remember i was in my dads arms.:(\nIm really proud that Im hear now!

Definitely swim with the Sharks... this is my passion, thus my name.  I am trained to hand feed sharks and it is a rush.  I have found sharks to be like big puppies, they really don't want to eat us, we are too bony and I guess we must not taste too good.  \n\nI have spent many hours under with all species of sharks and there are only about 5 species that I will not swim in open water with.\n\nStatistics show that more people are killed by pigs each year than sharks

When I was eight years old I almost drowned. My uncle tried to teach me how to swim in the deep end.He picked me up and threw me into the water. I fell straight to the bottom. All I remember is looking up at the surface and thinking what happened, and how long do I have to stay here. Then I blanked out. My mom said it was the scariest 3 minutes of her life. When the lifeguard rescued me I was blue and not breathing. Fortinately he knew mouth to mouth. That was my first KISS!!

I think the best adventures I have are when I'm surfing.  I'll paddle to the outside and wait for a set to roll through, sometimes while I'm waiting, a pod of dolphins will swim by or start feeding right in front of me.  One time a sea lion swam under my board - that was cool, but a little freaky.  It's nice being out in nature and getting to see up close some of the wildlife people take for granted.  \n\nAn adventure of a friend that I thought was scary:\nOne day my friend was out surfing with one of her friends and catching some really good waves.  She was waiting on the outside with her friend when she notices a large shadow under her board - she looked at her friend and asked, "What are the chances that's a sea lion?".  Turns out it wasn't, but a huge shark!  I almost pissed myself when she told me this story.  SCARY!

It depends on your expectations.  Some tours only let you touch the dolphins--others let you swim with them, but not touch them--and still others let you do both, swim and touch. Find out the details, and decide if it is worth it to you. Cruise critic has forums where you can communicate with other cruisers and find out their experiences.

None.  Polar bears, North Pole.  Penguins, South Pole.  Kind of a long swim there just for a bite of penguin, donchya think ;-) ?
