Swimming with Dolphins

During my vacation I spent a day at Discovery Cove. Discovery Cove is basically a really nice fake beach where you can go swimming with dolphins, fish, and sting rays (They also have exotic birds but who wants to waste their time on birds when you can be with water animals... not me). It was cold and rainy that day but I enjoyed it anyway. The dolphin I got to ride on was named Coral. I was surprised by how strong the dolphins felt. I guess I expected them to be more delicate. Swimming with dolphins has always been something I have wanted to try, but I actually really enjoyed swimming with the sting rays. Sting rays are my favorites when I go to the aquarium, so I have pet them before. It is totally different though when you are in the tank with them. I was snorkeling around looking at all the fish around me and all of a sudden there was a sting ray right there touching my legs. Its definitely something you only experience once, if ever.
