Once your child has mastered these skills, they move into Sharks.
Fun Facts about Dolphins
Dolphins can be spotted in most SA marine parks in fairly-shallow water
They are marine mammals. They move through the water by arching their backs and moving their flukes vertically up and down in order to generate momentum in the water and propel themselves forward
They can travel up to 50 km per hour
