  1. If you aren't a good, strong swimmer... and better yet, have some lifesaving training, don't jump in. Call for help and throw something out to them.

    Swimming looks easy.... and is, when you know how. Unfortunately, humans don't posses the same swimming instincts as most other animals.

    RIP Mr. Torres. Your heart was in the right place and Heaven is your reward.

  2. How can someone write an article this poorly? Everyone has an obvious question about this story. What happened to the other two people?

  3. Its ironic all the people who have NO business being near any water deeper than the height of their chin, actually hangin out casually near- what to them- is comparable to partying next to a live power line- and- crazier yet, swimming when their aptitude is well below dog paddling. Jacomo has claimed a lot of lives because of plain ignorance. Witness all the men who KNOW how to swim surviving in much harsher seas than this pond. One former NFL player realized that if he could do anything real, it was to teach people how to swim, since it always seems to confront a person somewhere in life.
