A Tshwane woman went swimming with fish at uShaka Marine World and was terrified the entire time.

She had her heart in her hands as she and her buddies endured the experience of being in the same tank as stingrays and other aquatic critters whose presence she did not entirely relish.

Her encounter with the sea world had other netizens opening up about when they also dunked in the tank.

In the video taken at uShaka Marine World, the young woman stands very still, like a pillar, with the fishies circling her, passing between her legs and lurking in the background. A menacing-looking stingray is in the area.

The dame is trying her best not to come close to the fish but is bothered by a fish that has taken a liking to her leg, rubbing itself against the leg and bumping her with its scaly snout.

In the comments, she said she could not wait to get out of the water because of the overly touchy stingray and the fish playing aquatic bumper carts.

Woman tells Briefly News that the experience was overwhelming

Khutso Motsheketsheke told Briefly News that the experience was a lot for her.

"Being in the tank exceeded my expectations. I didn't think we would be in contact with the fish nd the stingrays. I feared sharks, but to embarrass myself, I didn't know that stingrays fall under the shark family. I don't think I would have done it if I knew, and I don't think I'll do it again. I would, however, advise people to go because it's interesting," she said.

Woman almost drowns in shallow pool

Briefly News reported that a woman almost drowned in a shallow pool with a life jacket on in a similar story.

The lady from Ekurhuleni went on a water slide at a water park. After she slid into the water, she struggled to keep afloat.

What made netizens crack up was that there was no way she could drown because she had a lifejacket on and the water was chest-deep.
