Don't worry about sharks near shore, they like the colder water farther out. Don't wear shiny jewelry and the barracudas won't be a problem. Barracudas don't see too well so they will swim toward you to check you out but they won't be interested if you are larger than they...they prefer to eat small fish who don't scream.
The only thing to be concerned about are the black sea urchins that will ruin your vacation if you step on one. they inhabit the rocky and coral areas and aren't found in the sandy beaches like Flaminco or Zoni.
If you are unfamiliar with swimming in salt water, you're in for a pleasant surprise. You'll float without treading water in salt water so it is easy to rest...just stop paddling. It is when you stop and relax that the fish come out for you to see them....way too much fun!
