Early Dolphin Swim Request

I have been advised to request an early dolphin swim for up an coming trip to DC. So i have just telephoned them and spoke to a nice man who has booked me in at 09.30. A friend of mine said she did this last time as she was clock watching all day waiting for her dolphin swim and it it thunders everyone is took out of the water. Good advice i say, i am pleased i have done it.

We have done Discovery Cove twice,and swim times except for
special needs are allocated on a first come first served basis,
when we were checking in this Year the party in front of us
had booked and were told their swim time was 9.30,but they
were told that this was not the case,I would ask them to e-mail
you with a confirmation

Thats how you have a swim time,as it will be under Special Needs.
Hope you enjoy,as it is a great day out.Get water shoes $ 6 from
Walmart as the pools are rocky,and disposable cameras $ 8 from
WAlmart {waterproof}

We arrived at 7.50am and our swim was at 8.40am, we didn't book that, they just allocated it to us, meant we had to be quick getting ready and in the rush, I didn't know that I had to pick up a life jacket, I thought I would get it there, but the girl was really good and said that if at any time I needed one she would get me one, but I managed without.
It did mean we could enjoy the day without clock watching.
Love Rio

I think mid-morning is a good time to swim as we had an early slot last time and it felt very rushed. Hoping for a later slot this time.

I know what you mean about clock watching if you have a late swim, if you know you are going to have an early slot you are prepared but last time we went it was very rushed from checking in to the swim, I think around 10 would be ideal as it gives you time to sort yourselves out first. We just felt it was all over and our feet hadn't even touched the floor.
