Do great white sharks have a nictitating membrane?
Whether it's too late or not relevant anymore, I can show you that they do, because of a YT video called "Evidence that great white sharks are peaceful creatures".
There are a lot of things wrong with the footage, but it does answer your question! The animal's eye membrane is shown a few times, quickly. They have very good vision (IN WATER), but I'm surprised this shark was able to see what it was doing. This (probably a young female white) shark's nictitant membrane can be seen most explicitly when the narrator literally SMACKS the shark's nose and face after consuming the bait. Not a cool thing to do to any shark, or a nice-feeling thing if you don't like being hit in the face even as a human; but if you also have tons of massively sensitive ampullae in there.... ROUGH.

I know the fear of sharks in a swimming pool is called selachophobia that is how you spell it (said as selac-a-fobia) I know this because i have that fear it isn't something to be ashamed of i can swim in pools with a friend or a relative swimming next to me but otherwise i cry of fear.
If you have selachophobia then you will probably see shaded areas in the pool and will dodge them you also see pictures of sharks in your head while swimming for me it started one day when my sister forced me to watch a programme about animals before my swimming lesson and the programme that i watched was on the great white shark the most deadly shark of them all and then I had my lesson and i was so scared i could hardly swim this happened about 4 or 5 years ago and I still can't swim without a friend swimming with me.

When you are not in a streamline position in swimming, drag can occur. This is when you body is stopping the water from freely moving past your body.
