Yeah that’s the only thing that would keep me from swimming with on. Also that I hate swimming in murky water, reeds, or sea weed.

They're cool to swim with! Water's plenty clear where they hang. Ex-gf was a diver and had a side hustle taking people swimming with manatees near the warm springs where they post up for the winter.

They'll come right up on you! You just can't touch them. She even got a pic of a newborn! Like, a few minutes old newborn!

Wow neat. Maybe we’ll have to try it out someday. If Florida is still there by then.
