A group of dolphins apparently came to the aid of a British long-distance swimmer just in the nick of time.

Adam Walker was on a 16-mile swim in the choppy waters of New Zealand's Cook Strait on April 22 when he spotted a great white shark beneath him. A pod of 10 dolphins quickly surrounded him and stayed by his side until the shark swam off.

Walker posted images of his guardian dolphins on Facebook a day after the rigorous swim. "I'd like to think they were protecting me and guiding me home!!!" he wrote of his brief time with the dolphins.
Post by Ocean Walker.

Walker, who was swimming to raise proceeds for the nonprofit Whale and Dolphin Conservation, embarked on the Cook Strait swim as part of the Ocean's Seven, a global challenge to complete seven long-distance swims. He crossed the Cook Strait in 8 hours and 36 minutes.

Walker is already most of the way through the Ocean's Seven challenge, having previously completed swims across the English Channel, Strait of Gibraltar, Molokai Channel, Catalina Channel and Tsugaru Channel. His final swim will be in August, when he will attempt to swim the North Channel, which separates Northern Ireland from Scotland.

EVERY DAY I Surf my Ocean a Blue in Cardiff by the Sea. At least every other day I have Dolphins coming close to me
Rare as close as in Video. I call out to them but I guess I have to wait for a Great White Shark for them to come in and surround me

Anon D is most correct re Walker. His financial adviser a former race car driver was not so lucky with Porsche Carrera GT.

100 MPH in a 45 zone street coupled with close up intimacy of a concrete light pole and two trees - Not so much so good for continued life.

Yep final corner report said no alcohol or drugs were found in driver. Considering they had both just left a charity event.

Some blame the Porshe's suspension cause the car was set up for tricks in films. Buttttttt going 100 MPH where they were going was just dumb. I once learned a bitter lesson n just luck when going just over 100 in a Porsche many years ago - Blew a tire and moved a full 4 lanes over in a flash - Just fucking lucky no other car was in my path or or or

It was on a curve on Freeway so tire blew and b4 I could get car back in control I was NOT where I wanted 2b
