This reminds me of Joe Delaney. He tried to help some drowning kids in a Amusement Park pool. Joe couldn’t even swim he drown to death. But he saved some kids. However, one died in the hospital and another drown with Joe. Joe Delaney was a running back with the Kansas City Chiefs for two seasons during 81-83.
He passed on June 29th of 1983. He also played at northwestern. It’s nearly 40 years since tragic drowning. Posthumously he was elected into the College Football Hall of Fame.

It was a Amusement center and a local park. Not a pool but a creek.

Joe couldn’t even swim

Checked his online image. Why is it that Blacks often can't swim? Even professional athletes?!
