By Riley Overend on SwimSwam Almost one year ago, the unthinkable happened to Ali Truwit. Two days after graduating from Yale last May, she was attacked by a shark while swimming with former Bulldogs teammate Sophie Pilkinton (’19) in the Turks and Caicos Islands. “We kicked and shoved back, but it bit through my foot and we had to swim 50 to 75 yards back to the boat to save ourselves,” Truwit told U.S. Para Swimming last month. “Without that training, I’m not sure we would have made it back to the boat in the open ocean. In a story where a really unlucky thing happened, there was a lot of luck in who was around me.” The shark bit off Truwit’s foot at the ankle, but Pilkinton acted quickly
