Encounter between a solitary wild dolphin and human children in 1967. Educational anthropologist Dr. Betsy Smith of Florida International University is usually credited with starting the first line of research into dolphin-assisted therapy in 1971, building on earlier research by American neuroscientist Dr. John Lilly on interspecies communication between dolphins and humans in the 1950s.

A beautiful pink dolphin, who was first spotted in Louisiana in 2007, was again seen swimming through a ship channel in her native state.
Fish kick: Similar to the dolphin kick, but performed while on the swimmer's side. This may be the fastest form of swimming. Swimming creates vortices which propel the swimmer forward. In the dolphin kick, the vortices go up and down, where they're disturbed when they hit the surface of the water or the bottom of the pool.
The dolphin kick is named for its resemblance to the motions made by a swimming dolphin. It is typically used in competitive swimming immediately after a swimmer enters the water or after turns. The swimmer performs the kick by moving both legs together, vertically, which sends a wave through the swimmer's body, propelling them forward.
The fish kick is essentially performing the dolphin kick sideways. [1] The legs go left and right in a wave motion. [ 2 ] This may have the beneficial effect of pushing water sideways, where it is not impeded, rather than the dolphin kick, which sees the water stopped by the top and bottom of the pool.
