A lifeguard sees a physically handicapped child come up to the public pool.

So the lifeguard gets ready to jump in and make a rescue as he sees the kid clumsily put down his towel to go for a swim.


As soon as the handicapped boy touches the water, he starts swimming with athletic ease. Going one lap crawl, the other butterfly, back and forth , back and forth.


Lifeguard can't believe his eyes and starts timing him . Noticing he's practically beating world records.


So he decides to go up to the kid and ask how it's possible , while he tries to dry himself up with his arms all crooked.


So the kid replies, " well it's pretty simple. Everyday my father used to take me to the middle of the lake on his rowboat, and he'd throw me overboard and I'd have to swim back to shore"


Lifeguard replies "OMG, that must've been a very hard experience!?"


Kid quickly says, " wasn't that bad, the hard part was to swim back while trying to get out of the bag and dodging the paddle swings"
