For fun and games grab a 80lb dog throw him in the lake then try to bring him in while keeping the two of you afloat. Now imagine doing this with two boys probably around 150lbs.
In the meantime shut your pie hole until you have an idea what you're talking about.

Of course you could just explain why ponds are dangerous rather than being an aggressive c*nt about it. As it happens I've spent 4 summers as a lifeguard on the east coast of australia so I'ves swum more sinking swimmers in to shore than you can imagine, and they don't often register at 120 or under.
This won't be popular but i think atttempting to save kids in a pond when you know you CANT SWIM is more idiotic than unselfish, for it just creates another potential victim that needs rescuing.
All that said, no, i've never actually swum in a pond.
