WhY WE DO WHAT WE DO

We want you to experience the beauty of nature found in the warm waters of Crystal River, Florida that manatees call home. We have a passion for these lovely creatures and we want to share our fascination with them while you make unforgettable memories. Manatee Swim Center believes that protecting manatees and their habitat is paramount. This is why we donate to the various non-profit organizations whose mission is to protect them. To date, we have given more than $30,000 to organizations dedicated to their flourishing. When you meet these lovable creatures, we think you will agree that manatees are worth protecting.
