we were sitting on the beach watching the waves come in. the waves were getting bigger and bigger as the day went on. near the end of the day i saw someone run by me. immediately i jumped up and ran towards the water. i saw someone in trouble and the guy next to me was running in to help. we swam out past the waves to find a boy who was drowning. when we got out there we found 2 boys drowning. they were about 8 or 9 years old and they were way beyond tired and scared. the guy beat me to the boys by about 2 seconds. he tried to get the boys but couldnt touch or swim strong enough. i grabbed the boys and turned to the shore and realized that i could not touch. i gave one boy to another guy who came to help and i held one boy in my arms as i swam back to the shore. a minute later we were back on the sand to everyones relief. the boy was pretty small but it took alot out of me. i was exhausted. i went from total relaxation to full adrenaline in less than 2 seconds. after the boys were returned to their families we sat back in the chairs and enjoyed the rest of the day.
later that night we went to a restaurant and as we were being seated the waiter said, "hey, you are baywatch". he saw me save the boy earlier that day and now called me baywatch.
