“The thing about being a rescue swimmer or lifeguard is that, often, the person you want to help will, in their desperation, drown you. I will swim as hard as I can, for as long as I can, but if you pull me under, I only have two choices: 1) break your nose, to get you off me, or 2) swim away. The same applies on dry land in other situations.” – Kimberly Bumpses (pseudonym)
