That same myth has been disproven in many real life instances where sharks have attacked people swimming with dolphins.

A very recent case here in Australia comes to mind for me where a young woman was swimming with dolphins just offshore in the shallows reasonably close to a drop off when she was mauled by a number of bull sharks. They ripped off both her arms and part of a leg.

The dolphins swam off. Didn't even bring her into shore.

eta: she died.
