Watch This Incredible Footage Of A Woman Swimming With Killer Whales Who Just Want To Play

Incredible drone footage has captured the moment a woman swimming in the blue waters off Hahei beach in New Zealand discovered she was not swimming alone. In what she has since described as a “life-changing experience”, she instead found herself swimming with a small pod of killer whales.

Judie Johnson, who is in her 60s, was completing a regular training swim when she realized she had company.

"There was a shape that went under me, like a huge shape and I thought [it was] dolphins. I was quite excited, and then I saw the great white color on the back,” she told New Zealand’s 1 NEWS.

She realized they were orcas and quickly swam for shore, worried they may mistake her for a seal thanks to her black wetsuit.
