Croc & Shark In Pool!

Would you jump in a pool with a shark? Or take a splash with a baby croc? That’s the choice several Aussie swimmers found themselves making this week after both a shark and a crocodile were spotted swimming laps at opposite ends of the country.

The latest Sydney shark scare was really more a surprise, after a dusky whaler* was seen inside a netted swimming pool at Manly on Wednesday morning.

Startled swimmers spotted the 1.2m shark in the harbour pool along West Esplanade in Manly Cove, just west of Manly Wharf, at about 10am.

Northern Beaches Council was alerted and immediately put up a “shark sighted” sign on the popular beach.

But more than a dozen swimmers still took to the water despite sharing the pool with the 1.2m shark.
