EDIT: Should add this applies to the places that keep them in captivity. If you happen to swim with them in the wild then congrats, your life is whimsical.

When we went in the Bahamas it was with wild dolphins, I can imagine swimming with them in a pool or similar would be super depressing. We took a boat just off shore in Bimini Island and there was about 10-15 of them swimming around the boat. They let you hop in and swim around with them for a few hours. I ending up swimming with one right beside me for about 15 minutes and it is something I will remember for the rest of my life as the dolphin was interacting with me the entire time. From tapping me with its fin when it changed directions to stopping when I got tired it was pretty damn whimsical
