Two mothers and their calves swam into the canal and seemed to be trapped.

Officials with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission believe the dolphins were scared of swimming under the bridge.

"Using a human chain to create a visual barrier, the dolphins were able to overcome the canal bridges, which were believed to be perceived as obstacles," Clearwater Marine Aquarium said in a statement.
