Having to go everywhere in a wheelchair can i swim with Dolphins

[Nicolatinks]

Hello, I'm a full time wheelchair user and I would Love to know can i swim with the Dolphins as is a dream. Does Discovery Cove have their own wheelchairs that take you into the water. As much info as someone can reply I would be grateful.
Thank you

From the Discovery Cove website:

"Disabled Guests
Discovery Cove can accommodate guests with disabilities who are able to maneuver themselves with limited assistance (or with the aid of a personal assistant) during their dolphin experience and in the various wading locations. Discovery Cove also offers specially-designed outdoor wheelchairs with oversized tires for easy maneuvering on the beach. The wheelchairs are not self-maneuverable and guests will need assistance operating them. Wheelchairs can be reserved by calling 1-877-557-7404."
