  • I swam Sunday off Los Angeles, after reading a few of these stories. ABout 1/4 mile in a large gray shape swam quickly below me. I had heard the echolocation earlier, and the thing below me was swimming up and down (like a dolphin) and not side to side (like a shark) but still scared the you know what for a moment. Had to stop and watch it surface. Just to make sure Feel the adrenaline! Having done all my open water swimming in freshwaters I know my heart would have missed a few beats at the sight.
