Just hours after her swim ended in a shark bite off the Del Mar shore, Lyn Jutronich is ready to share her terrifying experience.
off the Del Mar shore, Lyn Jutronich is ready to share her terrifying experience.Jutronich swam competitively in college and swims in the ocean two or three times a week.
Friday morning, she and her swim partner were resting in the water before heading back to shore when something slammed into her. "I felt a huge, like a really hard hit right, I don't know how else to say this, like right between my legs and it pushed me, it hurt and it pushed me up and out of the water," Jutronich described to"I saw it clamp on my leg so I don't know if I saw it bite my leg or if I saw it after it bit my leg, but I definitely saw the mouth," she recalled."It was on my right leg and it shook once, kind of like a dog, and it let me go," Jutronich described.
Jutronich admits she's still a bit in shock but even as she recovers, she's using a little humor to help her heal. "My friend did send me an article that said I should buy a Powerball ticket because apparently the chances are winning the Powerball are less than being attacked by a shark, so I've got that going for me," she joked.
