Workshop Overview
An important prerequisite for becoming a dolphin trainer is passing the specialized dolphin trainer swim test. Join Dolphin Quest’s expert trainers for this three-day workshop where you will learn and develop the skills necessary to pass swim tests for working with dolphins.  
 
You will learn, practice and perfect the skills and techniques of underwater distance swimming and diving, while developing core strength skills and understanding the importance of form and function for swim tests within the dolphin training field. You will even have an opportunity to spend some quality in-water time with a new dolphin friend. Additional sessions will help you improve your public speaking ability, essential to a dolphin trainer’s performance and education skill sets.
