I used to enjoy swimming in the ocean but now..

Nope..whenever you are in the ocean, a shark is never more than 6 feet from you, actually. (I live in Florida.) But they are fish eaters and the only time they bite a person is when they can't see well in murky water and mistake you for a fish. Wait and swim on clear water days and don't be afraid. Remember..the man killed in the great white shark atack..it had not happened there simce 1959! It's very rare. It happens here in Florida once in a while, usually again in murky water..or when it's geting dark or at the mouth of a river going into the ocean where there are more schools of fish for them to eat. Just pay attention ot when you swim, the clearness og the water..and don't swim near a place where a river goes into the ocean and you'll be just fine! The oceans are fun! Enjoy!
