Summary

[edit]
Description

Dolphins - the fastest swimmers in the sea - are often seen following boats, or playing in shallow waters off beaches.

Common, bottlenose, dusky and Hector’s dolphins like to ride on the bow waves of ships, reaching the same speed for very little effort. Dolphins can maintain 20 - 22 knots per hour for sustained periods.
