I swam with the dolphins at this location 20 years ago when I was a dolphin obsessed 10 year old. There were about 12 of us there on a brisk autumn morning and there was a pod of about 6 dolphins, including a calf. The locals told us we probably wouldn't get much interaction as the dolphins were shy because of the calf. I swam out and within 10 minutes, the calf was absolutely enamoured with me. It swam up and played a form of "tag" and let me pat it, however it wouldn't go near any of the adults. Eventually the whole pod came to swim with me. It was an absolutely incredible experience and 10 year old me felt like a dolphin whisperer. Side note: My parents managed/ran the town swimming pool and so I was I very confident swimmer after spending all my spare time at the pool.
