00:01Good evening. It's a bitter night ahead, as winter storms continue to pound the region.
00:06A band of heavy rain is moving in from the southwest, mixing with sleet and snow over high ground.
00:12Temperatures in the Lowlands will hold at 3 or 4 degrees, but wind chill will make it feel close to freezing.
00:18In upland areas, sub-zero conditions and drifting snow are expected, with visibility reduced to just a few meters of silence.
00:25It was just incredible.
00:27I couldn't believe my eyes.
00:32A newborn baby, swimming.
00:35Fresh out of the womb, untouched and green.
00:39Doing the front crawl, at the same pace I'd been doing it moments ago.
00:46I knelt down. I couldn't stop staring at him.
00:53Every lap was smooth. Every lap.
01:05I could have been raised by these invisible hands.
01:11A newborn, barely a month.
01:13I was worried it was going to stop swimming and sink, that I'd have to jump in and save it.
01:22But it just kept fluttering along its little legs.
01:29It taught me how to breaststroke, butterfly, back crawl.
01:41I stood up.
01:43And there I was.
01:45It was just swimming over towards me.
01:48It was terrible.
01:54I thought I was alone, but...
02:00The man was watching as well.
02:03The man, the lifeguard.
02:06And he picks up the baby and I thought he was going to be amazed as I was.
02:11But he was faceless.
02:15I told him, you know, put him down.
02:25You know, give him a chance.
02:26Let him swim.
02:27He didn't.
02:28He didn't put him down.
02:29He...
02:30He started bashing the baby's head against the floor of the pool.
02:31Over and over again.
02:32The baby's crying.
02:33All I can do is watch.
02:34I just sit there and watched.
02:35I thought he was going to kill him right there.
02:48But he didn't.
02:50I thought he was going to kill him right there.
03:04It was almost as if nothing happened.
03:08He stopped and lay the baby gently on the surface of the water.
03:14The baby just started swimming again.
03:24How could a man do something like that?
03:28How could a man do something so terrible?
03:34He's absolutely amazing.
03:4218 years of age, one on one with the keeper, on the world's biggest stage, and he's finished it perfectly.
03:50Fuck yeah. That was good than that. It's good innit?
03:54Still brilliant.
