Swimming with dolphins

Or rather the dolphins were swimming with us.  And I'm not talking about a tourist attraction either.

I was out for a swim with the local group of swimmers here in Kona.  We were about a mile out and I when I looked up to check my distance, I saw dolphins jumping through the water.  We all stopped and watched them as they went out a bit further.  We swam out to them and watched as they swam beside us and under us.  They were jumping over the waves and making lots of noise.  When I put my head under the water, you could actually hear them talking to each other.  There were about 50 or so out there, including many younger ones who stayed close to their moms.  What a great way to spend my last swim out here in Hawaii.

Just another benefit of being a triathlete.
