PHILADELPHIA, (AP)—Would the aquarium people permit underwater swimmers to enter the tank and feed the shark?
That was the question asked by the Young Women's Christian Association.
It wanted to show off skin diving techniques to get publicity for its adult classes.
Heck no, the aquarium people replied. They said the shark, not used to swimming around with people, would get so frightened he'd dash toward the glass and bash his brains out.
