The Leopard sharks With Swimmer in California

Before she knew it, she was surrounded by dozens of Leopard sharks - and had to make a dash for the shore.

The dramatic episode was captured on film by a traffic helicopter from a local news show last month.

The KTLA helicopter had been in the skies following news stories and providing traffic updates for the Los Angeles television station.
