Man staat op de boeg van een schip en kijkt in zijn virtual reality brilOne of Marijke’s greatest interests is to travel the world and swim with dolphins. On Monday she did just that at the docks in Pataholm (Sweden). Marijke’s voice cannot hide the joy when she tells about Monday’s event.“We’re still a little shocked. It was almost a little magical feeling”, she says. It was last week that she first found out that dolphins were seen outside Pataholm. She and her husband hurried there to take several nice pictures of the carefree dolphins. On Monday, she found out that the dolphins were seen at Pataholm again. “The weather was clear and fine and the dolphins came in the giant jetty.

Marijke Sjollema was interview by SVT SwedenThe Dolphin Swim Club was mentioned in the Swedish news (SVT). The two male bottlenose dolphins who miraculously appeared in Pataholm off the Swedish coast attracted hundreds of curious people on Tuesday, but few have come as close to them as Marijke Sjollema, founder of the Dolphin Swim Club. Marijke took a swim with the dolphins outside Pataholm in Mönsterås municipality, Sweden. “I have been swimming with wild dolphins around the world but I never thought I could do it at home in the Baltic,” says Marijke.” The only cetaceans that are local to the Baltic Sea are porpoises, and even they are very rare. Besides that, I have spent the summer preparing my art project aiming to film wild dolphins in virtual reality. On the exact date that I pushed the start button for crowdfunding, the two bottlenose dolphins showed up in front of my house…Remarkable, We took it as a sign.”
