Jessica Alba Recalls Good Deed
06/08/06

Jessica Alba's proudest moment came when she was just seven - when she helped a bullied boy learn how to swim. The actress recalls saving the kid from a group of bullies, who were diving on top of him at her local swimming pool, and then teaching him the 'doggie paddle.'

Alba, a self-confessed "expert swimmer", tells MTV News, "Everyone jumped on top of him - it was like this game of, 'Let's jump on top of the kid that can't swim.' He was drowning. I saved him and I pulled him out (of the water). He had tears coming out of his eyes and he was choking.

"My biggest accomplishment was getting him back in the water because my mom was like, 'Once you get kicked off the horse, you get right back on that saddle ...' and he got back in the water and I taught him how to doggie paddle ... My mom gave me bonus points for that one."

Hmm, I wonder if there has ever been a Saint Jessica because if there isn't one, then she would be the first. LOL

I almost drowned as a youngin' too. Althought it would have been nicer if Jess saved me instead some complete stranger. :(

cheers

I remember this one time I was by the pool at a hotel in Las Vegas and some idiot was throwing coins from the hotel into the pool. Unfortunately, a nickel struck me in the head and I started bleeding. I was taken to first aid where they patched me up. The hotel staff caught the jerk throwing the coins and kicked him out. Luckily, I didn't get a chance to see him. Otherwise I'd throw punches instead of coins.

It's best that way. At least you don't end up traumatized and being afraid of water and stuff like that.

cheers

well i had something happend but not like drowning. i had worms put on me and i hate worms now.

That's why my child's going to swim lessons ASAP like I did. One problem I've always had w/water is not being able to open my eyes in it, salt or fresh water. The other one being I'm just now getting interested in being around beaches again as, before, I was usually the chubby guy at the beach and, as a young'n, kids aren't exactly the nicest to chubby kids at beaches even if they can swim. The psychological damage of that is now just beginning to wear off as I realize I'm literally not that kid anymore.

Jessica Alba's Lover · 06-11-2006, 03:22 PM

thats why you get goggles than you can see and yeah your right if your alittle chunky there not friendly much to you.

06-13-2006, 01:50 PM

Yeah, but goggles make you look even dorkier than the chubbiness does!

Jessica Alba's Lover · 06-13-2006, 02:37 PM

well hey i guess thats the price if you wanna see underwater.

06-13-2006, 09:00 PM

hhhmmm It was the right thing to do

There is no place for all that bad **** in this world

I would do the same, its a shame that muggings, brawls, rapes, murders happen quite frequently here

But hey If you want peace KILL EVERYONE

oh BTW I cant swim

???

I'm glad my parents put me in swimming right away, I can't remember a time in my life when I wasn't completely comfortable in the water

Jessica Alba's Lover · 06-14-2006, 12:37 AM

When i lived with my grandparents they had a pool in the background and i've always been pretty tall so i could just stand in the water.

That's rough.

cheers

Yeah. Get this. The parent told her 13 year old nephew to watch all 5 of her children. The youngest one drowned in a kidde pool in the back yard. I'm sorry but you just cannot allow a 13 year the responibility of watching 5 children. Maybe 1 but not 5.

cheers
