There are few experiences as cool as getting to swim with the manatees. Backscatter Video and Photo shot this awesome footage of the manatees in Three Sisters Springs, Florida, a national wildlife refuge, and a few additional shots from nearby Rainbow River, according to their video on Vimeo.

According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, During the winter months, manatees head for warm waters, such as springs and power plant discharge basins. For the remainder of the year, manatees are widely dispersed in Florida's waterways.
