There is still hope.

5 Travel Reads for Shark Week

Don’t let Michael Phelps ruin your “Shark Week.” Read about some of the best shark travel adventures around the world and learn how to share the water with them safely.

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/03/science/should-swimmers-worry-about-sharks.html

"ISAF also suggested to avoid swimming when bleeding.
If a shark attacks, what should a swimmer do?
If you see a shark in the water with you, try to face it while slowly exiting the water, Mr. Nosal said. “In the very unlikely event a shark does bite, the best thing to do is fight back. Grab at the eyes and gills, which are very sensitive. Punching the shark in the nose may help but is difficult to do in the water.”
Also, there is no such thing as shark-infested waters, Mr. Nosal said. “The sharks live there,” he said. “If anything the waters are infested with humans. We share that space with the sharks and must always remember and respect that.”"
