Dylan Efron Saves Two Women From Drowning in Miami

Although he simply walked away after the rescue, fans captured the tense moment, which was reported by gossip blog Deuxmoi. But while Dylan understands the weight of the rescue, he doesn’t see himself as a hero. 

As he put it, “I feel like I did what most people would have done in that situation.”

Thankfully,  Dylan has a lot of experience swimming in college, as he emphasized how strong the rip currents were that day. He explained, “From where we jumped in, we ended up like a football field length away.”

And this is not the first time Dylan has proved himself capable in the water. The reality star, who was always a fast runner, previously revealed he’s competed in several triathlons after teaching himself how to swim using YouTube videos.

“I stuck with it all the way through probably [age] 28, and I was ranked in the top 1 percent of my age group for Ironmans,” he told GQ in February. “So, I got good at swimming.”

Since then, being in the water has been a crucial way to recharge for Dylan.

“I’m big into fitness,” he explained to The Hollywood Reporter in March. “Since I was a kid, I was playing sports. That was my passion. I very much tie my mental health to my fitness. I cleared my schedule this morning so I could go swim.”

“I needed that,” he said. “I needed that sun and that time outside to just be in my head and swim some laps.”

And while he likes to swim solo, he also takes on some waves with Zac. Read on for a closer look at the brothers’ family moments on the water.
