Great white shark calmly swims by snorkeler off Great Barrier Reef
Photographer Adrian Bullock was snorkeling off Lady Elliot Island, near Bundaberg, Queensland when this 4+ meter great white shark came into his view. Bullock realized he was 40 meters from the boat that took him to the dive spot, and remained still long enough to see the large shark was either well-fed or pregnant as it drew closer towards him. The photographer remained calm during the encounter, with the close swim-by only the second great white sighting off the island in 25 years. He shared the video because he wants ‘people to see that they aren’t man-eating monsters’

Older women swim length of Lake George in relay dubbed ‘menopause marathon’
Kate O’Keefe said, “This was easy,” just a few minutes after finishing a relay swim of Lake George.
When you’ve delivered roughly 8,000 babies, apparently the rest is easy.
The recently retired OB/GYN rounded up a few of her friends last week and urged them to swim the 32-mile length of the lake in one-and-a-half hour shifts.
“We decided we needed to do something positive with all that’s going on in the world,” O’Keefe said Friday afternoon.
Most of the women are former patients of O’Keefe’s. They range in age from 55 to 71.
“Yeah, menopause marathon,” smiled O’Keefe.
