British swimmer Oli Rush during the night swim came across 50 sharks, but did not swim away from them and enjoyed “communication” with the fish, according to the Daily Mail.
The 36-year-old swimmer was preparing for a speed swimming competition around the Isle of Wight. He went swimming and decided to have a midnight training swim near Dorset. His friend Ashley McPherson accompanied the athlete on a kayak.
Rush swam 70 meters from the coast and suddenly felt a blow in the leg and was frightened. An acquaintance illuminated the water with a flashlight, and the men saw dozens of smooth hound sharks nearby. This type of fish lives in the waters of Great Britain, individuals can grow up to 120 centimeters in length.
