Swimmin' in Cozumel....
A swim with the Dolphins was one of the many excursions offered during our Champions for Life Cruise.
When I first heard about the Dolphin encounter I dismissed it. Why on earth at my age would I want to swim with a Dolphin I thought. Don't get me wrong...I watched the show Flipper as a kid. (That sure dates me doesn't it?).... But to be honest, I have rarely thought about them in my adult life.
And them I started hearing from my BFL Buddies who were going to sign up for that event.
Wow! I never realized just how many people out there have had the dream to swim with a Dolphin! I must admit their excitement was contagious...and before I knew it I found myself signing up for the "swim of a lifetime" too. Sure I thought...it might be fun? What else was I going to do when everyone else was playing with the fish? So...why not?
Young, Old...men, women it didn't matter. By the time we were buckling up our lifejackets and figuring out our snorkel tubes nearly 40 of us were marching out to the dock to take the Dolphin Challenge.
During this event, we got to kiss a dolphin, dance with a dolphin, pet a dolphin, learn about their habits and training. We also got to "ride" or should I say guide with one through the clear blue waters off Cozumel. Oh I wish you could have seen the excitement on the faces of my new friends as they glided back to our platform. Or heard the laughter of a dolphin as she received her command from her trainer.
Reluctant at first about trying something new....I have to admit...the Dolphins adventure was one of the highlights of the cruise.It made me realize once again, just how much Body For Life has empowered me to try new things, to move out of my comfort zone and LIVE IT!
To be continued.....
