In the 1960's I was invited to swim with dolphins at the then Aquarama in Philadelphia.

I was taken first to meet and touch the dolphins. Then I was taken out to the demonstration pool and told to get in the water. I was a good competitive AAU swimmer and for years have worked with and trained horses. I was asked to swim the length of the pool and the dolphins flanked me on both sides.
I distinctly got the mental message "Can't you swim any faster?

Next I was asked to float on my back in the middle of the pool and tap the water. The dolphins jumped over my body. I could feel them brush my thigh jumping out and the opposite one as they dove back in. My eyesight is very poor but I realized they were so big,had they landed on me. Curtains. Their bodies were as big as a small horse.

The whole time I kept picking up telepathy from them. I often feel telepathy with horses and cats but it was the first time with a marine mammal.

I love it...its ineffable.....
