The vets learned training techniques and shared flipper shakes with the animals.

The swim served as a therapy stop during Soldier Rise, a cycling journey for men and women wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Participants were fitted with state-of-the-art equipment for the ride that took them over the Seven Mile Bridge in the Keys.

The ride ran Friday through Sunday.
