#57: Free Swimming with the Seals Update

We have had the opportunity to do a number of free swims with the harbor seals now, so I wanted to show you some of the interactions we have had.




Smoke showed interest even before I got in the water, then came by for a quick touch. Rochelle and Amelia played with the orange boomer ball, Lana checked out her favorite toy then Smoke came over for a good scratch from Justin. Cayenne, who has been a little shy about the free swim idea, swam close to take a closer look at Lindsay. We all agree that these free swims are not only enriching for the seals, but for the trainers as well!

    It's amazing how it looks like the meeting of two worlds! They must be intrigued to see you off the rocks and in the water!
