Kaley was in the ocean with friends and family Wednesday afternoon and was taking a break from surfing and was wading in waist-deep water when she said she felt a bite, and then saw the shark.
“She turned and yelled to her friend get out of the water! It’s a shark! So this little girl ran, a friend of our daughter, to go get the moms. And Kaley walked herself out of the ocean,†Szarmack said. “And she realized the 6-year-old was still in the water. So she turned around and went back and got the 6-year-old and took her out of the water. She pulled the little girl back out of the water.â€
Not only did Kaley get herself out of harm’s way after just being bitten by a shark, she went back to help another little girl while she did it.
