Swimming with Great White Sharks in California

was in Cali at this beach swimming in the water with a mask and snorkel on and saw some sharks in the water but it wasn't scary. I was only like 25 ft from the shore and there were many smaller ones closer to the shore that looked to be eating smaller fish along the shore. I saw one coming towards me that was bigger than the rest and it was a great white! I wasn't that scared but more excited! It swam by pretty slowly and cautiously and didn't get too close to me but as it passed got close enough for me to touch it! It was only probably a middle sized great white but was amazing to touch it. Then I swam to shore and hoped to not get accidentally bitten by the smaller feeding sharks, which looked like white tipped reef sharks. Luckily I didn't and I made it out and then went over to some lounge chairs. Was a nice little town with a small beach and some restaurants and apts right on the beach. I then saw Nicole Velardi and I guess that's why I was there. She came over and I asked her if she was ready to go in yet and she said to give her a few. I went into her apt with her while she got ready while we talked for a bit. Alarm
