True story reported from Dana Point, California!
"Tryout judge Sheri Crummer told the Orange County Register that no one knew where the deer came from. It hopped over rocks and then went off to sea.
Surf team coach Tim Samson paddled out about a quarter of a mile and herded the deer back to shore, where it took off toward a hotel.
Lifeguard Capt. Brad Herzog says deer occasionally come for a swim, but it's rare."
