Yes, you read that right! Starting May 2016, you will be able to swim with dolphins at Sea World San Antonio! I am SOOO excited about this and my girls are going to LOVE it! I plan to book the experience for them as soon as it’s available! You must be 6 years old to do this one.
Here is more information about the upcoming Discovery Point Experience.
In the dolphin swim experience, guests will meet bottlenose dolphins during an interactive adventure and learn about dolphin behavior and communication, along with SeaWorld’s dolphin research and rescue efforts. After their classroom presentation and discussion on dolphins’ natural history and physiology, guests will wade into shallow water and become acquainted with one of these fascinating, intelligent dolphins through close contact during this one-on-one dolphin encounter. Then, taking the adventure one step further, guests can interact with their dolphin in deeper water for an exciting dorsal fin tow ride back to shore. Paid reservations must be made for this program, and participants must be at least 6 years old to swim with dolphins. Children ages 6 to 12 must be accompanied by a paying adult who also is participating in the dolphin swim experience.

OH! My husband has a conference in SA in early June that I was planning on having the family tag along to. I promised my daughter we would do the dolphin touch on our next visit (she is hoping for the Beluga experience) but I think this would blow her mind!!!
My Sea World review is coming up this week but I’m going to add this in because WOW. Thanks for sharing!
