10800184055?profile=RESIZE_710xJohn ‘J.T.’ Swiderski was honored with a town STAR award for rescuing a swimmer in distress on July 15 in South Palm Beach. A 59-year-old man was visiting a town resident when a rip current pulled him out to sea. J.T. was on the beach with some of his Wellington High football teammates when he heard the man yelling for help. He ran into the ocean and helped the man back to the beach. ‘That kid saved my life!’ the man told Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies.

Nichole Addazio. Photo provided by PBSO
