Supermodel Heidi Klum swam in shark infested waters in a bid to make her a stronger person.

The 35-year-old took part in the brave challenge for a documentary for the Discovery Channel. She tells America's OK! magazine, "I jumped into the water with 45 sharks without a cage in the Bahamas. That was a really good experience."

"I'm not saying that everyone should swim with sharks, but sometimes you have to jump over your own shadow in order to learn something that you will never forget for the rest of your life. Then you know you can conquer your fears." (LJ/WNWCKO/MJ)
