I’ve never done DC, just been looking to price it up for our next trip but I’m confused. It’s cheaper with early booking to swim with dolphins then not to? So one of our boys will be 4, too young to swim but it’s cheaper to book him as a swimmer? Also other question if both adults would like to swim and we have 3 other boys who can is it possible to select two swimming times so both adults can got with one or two of the other kids?

That seems odd, we booked the early 2021 option and its £150 for the ultimate ticket(non swim) and it was around £180/190 - for ultimate ticket (with swim)can't remember the exact price but it was definitely more expensive.

We haven't done the swim for a couple of visits, but when you check in on the day get there as early as possible and you will be able to request your swim time. You should be able to do two different groups, but you will likely be in a group with others

It was cheaper for us to book the dolphin swim to rather than non-swim. My daughter doesn't want to do it (guess may change her mind though!) - guess we will decide on the day when we check in.

Thanks I just needed someone to say there’s was the same because I was starting to think I was going nutty haha. Kept checking it then thinking have I read it wrong. I think I’ve been checking so many prices and so many options my mind is going into over drive with it all.

There are sometimes special offers on where the swim is cheaper than non-swim - but usually the non-swim is cheaper. Just make sure that you're not comparing a 2-park swim to a 3-park non-swim...

No they were both two pros that’s why it confused me. I guess it’s just the deal atm

as regards your other question, yes we did 2 time slots, 1 adult with each child, worked out well as then the other parent could then video /take pics of the other 2 ...but make sure there's enough of a time gap between the 2 sessions as it took a lot longer than expected with the booking in/video session you all do first on dry land before going into the water.
