We get the questions many times, “do you give a life vest when participating in the Dolphin Swim program?” Miami is like many other dolphin facilities where life vest are required to wear but wet suits are not mandatory for the dolphin swim or the dolphin encounter and all animal interactions within the park .
Here are some answers to help you with this question….
- Life Vest are mandatory during the Dolphin Swim in Miami.
- If you want a life vest, you need to ask for it at the time of getting your wet suit.
- You may ask, “why don’t you give a life vest?”. The answer is that the wet suit will keep you a float. Also, you should be able to do a basic swim in the pool water, like a doggie paddle or side stroke.
- The pool is about 10 – 15 feet deep.
Now, the other big question, we get quite often is about wetsuits.
Here are some answers for you…
- Everyone that enters the water with the dolphins can request to wear a wetsuit during the colder winter months.
- Wetsuits are provided at no extra charge on a first come fist serve basis.
- We have all types of sizes, from very small to extra big. So don’t worry if you are a large person, we have a wet suit to fit you.
- Person that required to be covered for Religious Reason must request it by email dolphinworldresponse@gmail.com
One thing, please bring a bathing suit (swimwear ) to wear under your wetsuit and life vest.
We hope this helps you!
