Description:
Jeremy McDonagh, 19, from Canberra, was swimming between the flags in a metre of water at Surf Beach, near Batemans Bay on Saturday, when the shark struck.
Mr McDonagh says children were swimming next to him when the shark latched on to his arm causing severe bleeding.
He says the wounds needed hospital treatment.
"It was all infected, so I had to get antibiotics and tetanus shots because they said there was bacteria in the shark's mouth," he said.
"They said it was all rotten meat, so you can get a real bad infection and stuff that I didn't realise until the next day when my hand was all puffed up and killing me."
