‘Feel more vulnerable’: Swimmers return to Sorrento Beach, month after Greg O’Neil killed by shark

Key points

  • Swimmers have returned to Sorrento Beach in Western Australia, a month after a shark attack killed a local man. The Sorrento Slugs, a group of regular swimmers, say the attack has made them feel more vulnerable.
  • They have swum at the same spot for 40 years, near where Greg O’Neill was taken by a shark. The group says they would not use a new swimming enclosure if one were built, as they did not use the previous one.
  • They believe the beach was previously safe, but that sense of security has now gone.
