An attempt to show that seals and humans could share a cove went awry when a seal attacked a group of swimmers, clawing a man who emerged from the water bleeding.
Members of the La Jolla Cove Swim Club went into the water Sunday to try to show that swimmers should be allowed to use an area known as the La Jolla Children’s Pool.
