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.

Ya, when I was much younger we did this in Cuba. It was part of the snorkel trip, and I didn't have a lot of interest in it, but since it was included we went with it. I was also probably mislead that they were not viable in the ocean due to wounds, and were being studied. This was in a large caged area offshore.
Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't do it again. It isn't even really all that great an experience. Kinda fun, but nothing worth paying for.
