What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

activity · Plazi

Activity patterns. Pelagic groups of Spinner Dolphins may travel more than 50 km/ day. In Hawaii, they stay in bays during early morning and afternoon to rest in a location safe from predators and then move offshore ¢.400 m for night-time foraging. The Spinner Dolphin is famously known forits highly acrobatic leaps, which often involve spinning on the longitudinal axis up to seven times. Spinning is thought to be a useful technique for generating enough force on water reentry to dislodge attached remoras. It is also possible that the bubble plume created on reentry acts as a distinct acoustic target for communication purposes. The Spinner Dolphin is also known to bow-ride, except in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, where it avoids purse-seine vessels.
