the waters off san clemente are a breeding ground for the great white sharks the students are flown out to san clemente island which lies off the coast of san diego to pass seal training there a series of long swims must be completed
one is the night swim
before the swim swimming instructors joyfully briefed the students
on all the species of sharks that inhabit the waters off san clemente
they assure you however
that no student
has ever been eaten by a shark
police not that they can remember
but you are also taught
that if a shark begins to circle your position
stand your ground
do not swim away
do not act afraid
and if a shark
hungry for a midnight snack darts towards you
then summons up all your strength
and punch him in the snout
and he will turn and swim away
there are a lot of sharks in the world
if you hope to complete the swim
you will have to deal with them
so if you want to change the world
don't back down from the sharks
