agree.

Learning Swimming is the first step to survive a start attack. Then, if there is an island near go to it. If there is no island, just go and sit on the sharks body.

There are two things that aren't that easy to do. First of all a shark can swim 50 kmph. So you really can't outswim a shark. Second, sharks have been known to dive deep after shoals of fish. You might manage to sit on the sharks body without getting eaten but the shark may dive deep and you can't hold your breath long enough.

Apart from really idiotic tips like "get out of the water after the shark attacked you" (who would have guessed that?) and "get medical help when the shark has bitten off your leg" (he didn't exactly say that but something close) a good tip probably is: Don't look like a seal.
