They already screwed the Olympic target shooters & hunters, might as well nail the free divers next I suppose
.
The lifeguards at the 2 pools I use seem very nice (and one has allowed me to practice with my weight belt) but none are exactly Baywatch material in terms of size, strength or fitness -- I hope they have great techniques/equipment to make up for it. I really doubt if they would be able to get a large adult (such as myself or my dive partner) off the bottom. I guess we accept that risk (not something I ever thought about until reading about freediving/apnea...risky stuff).
