Surf lifesaver Dad took
fourteen year old daughter with
her two friends on a beach to
beach swim to increase life
saving ocean swimming stamina.
Swimming close to the shore
lest stamina fade the fourteen
year olds splashed among rocks
grazing knees as they passed.
Crossing deeper water past a
wide bay, dolphins encircled them
containing the humans while
banging the water with huge tails.
At last Dad escaped the circle,
saw a shark shadow deep below
as did another young life saver
swimming out from the beach.
Looking down at the shark, the
men then looked at each other,
swam back inside the circle.
After 45 minutes the dolphins
ceased their uproar having saved
fellow mammals from a vicious
shark attack – from skinned knees.
…. five weary swimmers slowly
swam up to the beach.

Very ! The girls did not see the shark and the Dad did not tell them until next day. They all found it rather scary at the time, though the girls were a bit more relaxed about it, with the Dad there . He did not want to make things hard for the dolphins so he waited three weeks to post the story on social media.
