That was Aaron Peirsol in the lineup just helping out. Perhaps one of the all around coolest guys and one of the best swimmers on the planet.

[@Ihavethebestsonever]

Love the sound effects. Good job.

[@mcinty12]

When does the Hoff come running up?

[@showtime951]

He's thirty miles up patrolling the shore, planning a trip to Germany, and going deep.

[@johnkmatsch]

The steering handles were jaaaaaacked!

Looking at them waves 11% say:i wish i was there. 89%:no way in hell.... Am one of the 11% including my entire family pro swimmers.my older brother was in Olympic 200meter butterfly the youngest in competition.took 3th. Saved one woman and her two sons at Texas lake.and me once i saved a men swimming deep in newport beach cali. The ocean is walking for my view and family. Thanks to our father (rip) forced us to learn and be best at it. Not to mentioned only sport that keeps all your muscle moving best normal natural workout.and best when it comes to life saving cituation. Glad and proud to be part of this family that they nick named us Dolphins.

That is the exact, proven technique we used repeatedly at San Diego State to get metabolically-challenged (fat) girls off the beach to bring them back to the house for an "Old #6 Round-Up & Pig Party"! Forgive my tears as the memories cascade back to me in waves of joy.

The lifeguard driving the yellow boat into the surf should be fired ..he could have caused a real disaster as there were already several lifeguards in the water .

[@BassSwirls]

He was attempting to remove there jetski therefore reduce the risk to the others effecting the rescue, He turned seaward immediately and knew when to pull out. Easy to criticise in hindsight.

The pilot of that lifeguard vessel was Lt. Capt. Jim "Rock" Rochammer, a 36-year veteran and senior authority of the Newport Beach, Ca. Lifeguard Rescue Patrol. He has saved more lives than a spoon has seen the inside of your mouth. Three year ago, Rock attempted to be the first man to swim from the mainland (Corona del Mar, Ca.) to Oahu, HI underwater solo with only a scuba tank. He failed in his 23rd hour. Well he didn't, the air tank did!. Rock went the rest of the way (59 hours, 12 mins.) underwater without aid of a tank because of what he called, "a matter of principal". His first night in the islands he made athletic, passionate love to two women he had never met before just to show them "how we roll in SoCal"! This legend has chunks of punks like you in his poo.
