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.

So you want the only male adult around to stand on the shore watching children thrashing around drowning. I'd imagine he felt pretty helpless up there but knew he had to attempt something.
