How did the Amazon Delivery Driver stay cool?

An Amazon delivery driver found an unusual way to beat the Southern California heat by diving fully clothed into a customer’s pool. The driver’s headfirst dive was captured on the homeowner’s security camera on June 30, according to the video-sharing site ViralHog and the recording has since made quite the splash on social media.

The homeowner in the Los Angeles suburb of Gardena left a note for the deliveryman by the pool, saying: “If you want to go for a swim, you are welcome to.” After dropping off a package at the house, the driver noticed the message from the owner and immediately decided to take him up on his generous offer. In the home security video, the unidentified Amazon worker is seen removing his phone from his pocket and placing it on a table before making a beeline for the pools small diving board.
