WITH their hands and legs tied together, four swimmers dropped into a 1.35m-deep swimming pool to swim to the other end.

This act was done during the ‘Heroes of the Ocean Water Carnival’ to let them and visitors realise how sharks become helpless when their fins are sliced off and the fish thrown back into the ocean.
