Creator's Key Takeaways

all in all my comment about swimming in Hawaii and regards the Sharks is you're going to be safe you're going to you're going to come here you're going to swim

don't swim if the water's too murky so if it's too murky don't go too far out there you know that's just the biggest thing

wearing sunscreen you want to make sure it's biodegradable and it's not going to kill the reef so that's very important out here

Panic fear don't worry about it get in the water it's going to be fine
