The thing is, we did teach him to swim. What we did was stopped working as the pool's lifeguard.
no, it's more like you promised them to watch until they were safe swimmers, but then turned away - and not to 'stop working as the pool's lifeguard', but rather to ogle someone else's girlfriend at the other end of the pool - even though the pool bully swimming right next to your friend threatened to drown him if you don't keep watching.
