Lyn Jutronich has been swimming her entire life. Here in San Diego, she’s part of a group of ocean swimmers. It’s safe to say, most days, you can find her in the water.
Shocked and terrified, she called on her partner for help.
The pair was able to swim back to shore where lifeguards and emergency crews rushed Jutronich to the hospital. A tiger shark jumped out of the water and bit a marine conservationist’s fins in a video that has gone viral.“I am doing great for everything considered,” said Jutronich. “I am incredibly lucky and unlucky all at the same time.”
Del Mar is known to have a significant juvenile great white shark population. However, it is still unclear if that was the type of shark involved in the attack.
