"Anytime we enter it, we should sort of anticipate that there is a possibility we could encounter a shark," she said."Most of the time – 99.9% of the time – sharks are just swimming by people. They are not looking at a person saying, 'That is my food.' Unfortunately, they don't get the credit that they deserve every time they just correctly identify what we are and continue swimming along.
Secondly, Grant said it's important for people to"look alive" as they play, swim or surf in the ocean. You should also look"purposeful" in your movements, particularly if you're swimming, and it's beneficial to wear a mask or goggles so you can better survey the area around you."Not so much that you're splashing or flailing or look panicky, but just kind of keep yourself moving a bit," Grant said.
