Why would Sumo be contraindicated? I would think that slams are appropriate attacks for swimmers. Certainly if Melville is to be believed it is used by whales. There are videos of orcas slamming sharks too. For that matter videos of great white attacks on seals suggest a slam/throw to stun the seal before biting it.

Also there is something called tonic immobility which puts some sharks into a trance state. That might make for a cool technique.
