How would you like to bath in a pool with a shark? Try this one.
A one-metre shark was found in a rock pool in Sydney. It end up in the pool when it was swept by a freak wave during the evening. The shark was released unharmed back to the sea and there were no harmed bathers.

"It's funny, though, because we have swimmers who come here at 06:00 every morning to do laps. It's still dark then and they mustn't have even noticed it was there."
Cole said the shark must have been swept into the pool overnight by a large wave.
"It's the first time we've had a shark in the pool," she said.
