Hizzoner dropped the comment after being asked during a City Hall briefing about lifeguard staffing at the city’s beaches and pools, which have increasingly had issues in recent years, ahead of Memorial Day.

A quick Google search reveals an interesting result, "Countries awarded most medals, swimming". Mexico-2, Zimbabwe-7(added for fair and balanced comparison. I was going to use Nigeria. They apparently have never medaled), USA-580.

I saw this today. Does he really believe all of them braved the currents of a river to get here? Maybe swam upriver to NY? This is absolutely insane and hysterical at the same time. Just illustrates the bubble they live in.

My daughter is a lifeguard instructor. training to be a certified lifeguard requires reading, lectures, tests and ability to demonstrate skills.
Not all teens who try out make it.
