Some human beings that live near the ocean do go in the water.

Here are some more facts:

Great white sharks

world population: <3,500 [1]

fatal attacks on humans from 1990-2013: 35 [2]

Orcas

world population: >50,000[3]

fatal attacks on humans in the wild since the beginning of recorded history: apparently zero

Here are some bonus videos of people swimming with orcas.
