Swimming with Dolphins- A Kid's Eye View | Dolphin Discovery

Contents hide

1 Hi everybody, my name is Sam and I am 5 years old, I am in kindergarten and I love swimming and boats and all the things in the ocean. The other day my mommy and daddy and me had a really great day, they took me to swim with dolphins! It was really cool, first we got to ride on a big boat, I looked for pirates but didn’t see any, maybe next time. When we got off the boat, I saw a whole bunch of dolphins, jumping in the air and waving to me and saying hi, I wanted to jump in the water with them but mommy and daddy told me I had to wait.

2 I was so excited, I didn’t want to wait, but the nice man with the toy dolphin told me that I had to learn how to train the dolphins. He told me never, ever, ever touch the eyes or the hole on their back that they breathe through. You have to be very gentle with dolphins! We practiced putting our hands out so the dolphins would come and give us a kiss and dance with us. Then we put on our life jackets that help us float and we went to where the dolphins live.

3 We were so lucky, we got to be friends with two mommy dolphins and their little babies! The mommies were named Shelley and Daniella and the babies were Noe and Dani. They were so cute, I told my mommy that I wanted to take a dolphin home, but she said that two cats and a dog were enough and that a dolphin wouldn’t like to sleep in my bed. We got into the water and the dolphins were right there with us!! They swam right in front of me and I got to touch them, they feel like the floatie toys I use at the beach but nicer. Their backs are grey but their tummies are kind of pink and they always look like they are smiling.

4 –(Sam is a real kid who really did swim with the dolphins, he’s my kid in fact! I’m the mean mommy who wouldn’t let him bring the dolphin home. We went to the Isla Mujeres location and did the program called “Dolphin Encounter“. This is a great program for young children, a lot of interaction with the animals and time to play in the water with them. Outside of the actual swim with dolphins program, there is a play area for children and a pool with a shallow area for kids. Contact Dolphin Discovery to book a tour that is great for the whole family.)

We were so lucky, we got to be friends with two mommy dolphins and their little babies! The mommies were named Shelley and Daniella and the babies were Noe and Dani. They were so cute, I told my mommy that I wanted to take a dolphin home, but she said that two cats and a dog were enough and that a dolphin wouldn’t like to sleep in my bed. We got into the water and the dolphins were right there with us!! They swam right in front of me and I got to touch them, they feel like the floatie toys I use at the beach but nicer. Their backs are grey but their tummies are kind of pink and they always look like they are smiling.

I was a little scared when it was my turn to kiss the dolphin, but it was so fun and easy and the dolphin kissed me on my cheek and I kissed her on the lips! I put my hands out in front of me and the dolphin put their flippers in my hands and we danced, it was so cool! We got to splash the dolphins with water and they splashed me too, they swam really really fast and they jumped high in the sky! I was sad when it was time to go, I had so much fun with my dolphin friends. I want to go back again really soon, mommy said if I am a good boy we can go for my birthday. I think I will bring them a cake made of fish.
