More than 18 persons made sure to come to the lounges that the water shows take place at within the events of summer 2011 to swim with the aquatic animals and dolphins, three of which were Saudi girls and diplomats from the Irish embassy. One of the trainers of the aquatic animals mentioned that to "Al Riyadh" in one of the lounges on the Thamama road in Riyadh and said that there are a lot of those that live the reality of the Saudi environment who noticed the tendency of a lot of the society classes towards aquatic life and practicing the swimming hobby with the aquatic animals such as dolphins and sea lions. But the teachings of Islam and traditions in the Saudi society prohibits the woman from swimming in open aquatic environments, and thus women found in the closed pools a space for them to swim freely and privately. He also assured in the same context that they coordinate with them and book early for them to prepare and close the pool for those wishing to swim with dolphins and sea lions.
