Pretty awesome...but still. First, he had special flippers. Plus, he has enough of his original limbs that it wouldn't be that hard...I mean it's not like he was just a torso with a head. Also, how long did he train...2 years...people can do a whole lot after 2 years of training. Plus, he's in water...water is like the equalizer for everyone. /rant
