Can not swim, will I still enjoy DC?

[emilylam01]

I can not swim and get very nervous when the water is too deep. However, I would like to do the dolphin swim. Have anyone had experience that they can share as to whether it is possible to still enjoy DC when you can't swim. Thanks.

If you can't swim it should not be a problem.

You can request a floating vest and you should be able to enjoy your swim with the Dolphins.

If you still think you will be too nervous in the water, then I would not recommend doing it, just do the non-swim experience.

Thanks I feel better now.

We went to DC last year. My DD could not swim very well so she was given the choice of swimming out to the deeper part of the lagoon with a swim vest on to be towed back by the dolphin or she could just be towed along the edge where it was shallow. She decided stay in the shallows but still had a great time with the dolphin.

My mom didn't do the dolphin swim and she still had the best time... She would do it again at anytime. There are a lot of stuff to do for non-swimmers...
