Warning After Swimmer’s Act in Water Attracts Multiple Tiger Sharks | Yahoo Australia
A man’s swim through Perth’s crystal clear waters has turned into a lesson of what not to do, after one particular action attracted the attention of multiple sharks.
The swimmer was filmed in waters off Hillarys dog beach in Western Australia, using a heavy-handed freestyle stroke, causing the water to splash around him.
Drone footage captured the moment at least four sharks approached the unsuspecting swimmer, with drone operator Curtis Ramsay telling Yahoo News Australia it was the closest call he’s seen between a human and a shark at the popular beach.
Ramsay said splashing is one of the behaviours that can potentially attract sharks, and urged swimmers to be more aware of the types of movements that could result in unwanted attention from the predators.

The Secret Behind Diana Nyad’s Incredible 53-Hour Swim | Big Think
At 64, Diana Nyad swam 110 miles from Cuba to Florida, facing jellyfish, exhaustion, and tough ocean currents for over 53 hours. But this feat was more than just physical – it was the result of a lifetime of mental endurance.
As a young swimmer, she faced sexual abuse from her coach, which derailed her Olympic dreams and left deep emotional scars. Instead of letting those experiences hold her back, she found a way to channel that pain into something powerful. She talks about developing a “steel trap mind,” using her struggles as motivation to pursue her goals.
Diana’s journey goes beyond breaking records. It’s a powerful reminder of the human spirit’s ability to persevere and heal, no matter the odds. Her swim from Cuba to Florida, completed on her fifth attempt, showcases her incredible willpower and serves as an inspiration to people everywhere.
