　　Female swimmer fights against shark

　　Mariko Haugen came face to face with a 12-foot tiger shark in Maui over the weekend and managed to get away without seriously being hurt.

　　Haugen and her husband were swimming off Maui in the Makena Landing Beach Park area,near Kihei.They were enjoying a “delightful day” swimming with the turtles.When they headed back to shore and were about 25 feet away,Haugen met the shark;but she didn’t realize it at first.

　　“I would hear all this noise.People were yelling,” Haugen explained.“All of a sudden,it was like Hollywood.You see the big jaws coming at you.I can’t say how terrifying that is.” Haugen is thankful for her martial arts training,which she owed to her quick thinking.“My Tae Kwan Do prepared me to learn how to punch,” Haugen said.“I punched it twice.I punched it this way,and that one contacted.But this punch hit the side and slid into the mouth.”

　　Haugen then continued back to shore and her husband had put himself between her and the shark.Fortunately,the shark took off and Haugen was able to swim to a landing where several people comforted her and got her help.

　　Haugen’s right hand and thigh are bandaged.She escaped the worst of it.She wasn’t bitten,but she does have slight injuries.

　　“I think we were unlucky,and really lucky,” Haugen’s husband Don Haugen said.“I’ve always reassured my family.We spend tons of time in the ocean.We love the ocean.I’ve always told my kids there’s zero reasons to fear sharks,” Don Haugen said.“Getting bitten by a shark is one in 4 million to visitors to Hawaii,so we should not have to worry at all.”
