Awesome but frightening at the same time.

"Judie Johnson of Hahei, New Zealand recently took a dip off the coast of Coromandel, she never expected to be surrounded by a pod of orca whales."

They just wanted to see what she was, she was swimming funny.

Crazy awesome! I know from swimming with dolphin pods is the parent let’s the young one next to you they are ok with you. If they view one as a threat bye bye... never swam with killer whales but been very close on a boat, few feet away. They are like lions in the ocean. Not worried at all

I know from watching King of the Hill that if you swim with the dolphin at the La Grunta hotel, that thing will rape you.

Man, that's really cool! Also, really not for me. I was swimming near the pier at Daytona, and a porpoise popped its head out of the water and eyeballed me and the missus.

Fat Redneck Jesus walkin' on the water. I noped out of there, ain't been back to swim in the ocean since. Those things are fkin YUGE. I can't even imagine Shamu swimming right behind me like that.

No way.  I've seen video of them playing keep-away / rugby with seals.
