July 2001
During my time spent living off Tesco Value beans, 9p noodles and flagons of Merrydown (at 450 squid a month rent thats all I could fucking afford!) in the jewel of Swansea's crown, the Marina, I would regularly witness some amusing sights which I guess is only to be expected living near the only designated place for Elton John in the City and within 5 minutes of the beach closest to Mayhill.

However, nothing I had seen previously had prepared me for the pics below. The possibility was always there but most people settled on the norm of chucking in the life saving ring thing and with the water level dropping rapidly I had sort of given up hope of the below event happening to anyone but myself after a night on the tiles but one midweek evening it happened someone went in the water!

I had heard some comotion outside so went on the balcony to see what was going on. To my right there were 2 kids and one was taking his clothes off. I thought he was only fucking about as the water level was so low the tops of the crabs had seagull shit on them and the 603 Tesco trolleys were clearly visible from a distance but fair play to the guy he did it!

Sploooosh! 'Dai the doplhin' miraculously re-surfaces after a fine display of the 'bomb' where he reached a good 4 or 4.67 metres off the side. His first words on reaching the surface were "It's shallow as fuck! I hit the fucking bottom!"

Not content with perfoming the finest bomb the Marina has ever seen, 'Dai the dolphin' decides to swim over to the other side.

'Dai the dolphin' gets carried away and decides to do a few laps of the marina frightening the fuck out of the fish, ducks and the cormorant who thought only they were mental enough to swim in this water. Dai was last seen swimming past the Bay of Bengal.
