Best Lifeguard Ever! So Moving! And So Insightful, This Young Man!


--by rfried, posted Sep 19, 2015
I have to share this wonderful story shared by my cousin Jane. She was in her first triathalon and went into a panic when another swimmer swam over her. She was panicking and called over the lifeguard. This 17 year old young man jumped in and came near her and talked to her. He said "I can't touch you or you'll be disqualified, but if you like, I will swim the rest of the way with you". And he did that, and my precious cousin was able to finish her challenge. Isn't that absolutely wonderful ?
