While this may not apply to open water swims it is also good advice for avoiding sharks. I grew up on a barrier island off the coast of Georgia. Sharks would follow the schools of bait fish into shallow water at high tide, then as the tide went out/at low tide the sharks often got caught/ trapped in the water between the beach and sand bar. Be very aware when in water like that.
PS In all the years I lived on St. Simons I never once heard of anyone getting attacked by a shark.
