Occurred on October 1, 2023 / Edmonds, Washington, USA
: "I swim in Puget Sound, Washington State, for exercise 3 days a week. I always carry a GoPro with me just in case I see something interesting. On occasion, the seals swim up to me, but this particular day was epic. They were so playful! I normally do not swim with fins, but on that day I had an injured shoulder, so I used a small pair of fins. It turns out the seals love to play with the fins because that is how they interact with each other. They were playing tag with me. Since then I have been asked to not encourage the seals to bite my fins, so in the future, I will only watch them play with each other, not bite my fins."
