Reply to comment by goodluckmyway in TIL about Deaf lifeguard Leroy Colombo, who overcame childhood paralysis through swimming and saved a record-breaking 900+ lives during his career. His swimming talent and use of sight rather than sound to identify drowning swimmers allowed him to save people other lifeguards would have missed. by lemontreelemur

I've been bringing the reality TV show "Bondi Rescue" which is focused on the lifeguards of Australia's Bondi Beach. Those mother fuckers rescue like 30 people a day, I fully believe this man had 900+ rescues after seeing Bondi

That's where I'm watching it! I had no interest in this 3 weeks ago now I can name most of the lifeguards on a random beach halfway around the world
