I trained in college as a life guard although I never was employed as one. I grew up near a small lake with a swimming area and a bunch of buddies from high school were out one day. The group swam from the main dock to a small floating dock, maybe about 20 feet. Billy Nixon was a football player and very strong, but apparently not a swimmer. He tried to follow the others but I could see he was struggling and starting to go down. I jumped in, put him in a rescue position and got him back to the dock. That kid was not a floater. All muscle!
