‘I swam next to a tiger shark but did not panic’

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

Open water swimmer Beth French tells Shari Vahl of the time when a shark came less than two meters away from her. Beth is a single mum and attempted a physical challenge that no-one had ever done before: swimming the seven seas considered to be the most challenging open water swims. Her efforts have been turned into a film called ‘Against the Tides’. Photo: Open water swimmer (Getty Images)
