I believe sh1t floats. With Clement full of sh1t I don't believe there was any danger to him. Therefore I don't think hero is the right choice of noun.

Tony Clement... Hero 970993

Well, I'm not as sure as you are. He seems to have acted pretty heroically to me....

Once he arrived at the shore, Clement knew he had to act fast.
"I could see her head, and she wasn't moving, so that really frightened me, and so I dove right into the water," said Clement, who jumped in fully clothed in shorts and a T-shirt.
As he swam towards her, Clement said the river current made it hard for him to reach the woman, whose name was Jennifer.
"As I'm getting closer to her, I can feel myself tiring and I can feel undertows starting to push me under the water," he said.
"The last thing you need is another person you're trying to save."
Clement then scrambled to get to the riverbank as Jennifer began to float on her back, allowing her to drift downstream where Clement's wife and father-in-law were able jump in and pull her from the water.
Once on the shore, efforts were made to comfort the shaken woman who had started to sob.
"Me and a couple of other people just kept talking to her, putting her clothes around her," Clement said. "We just wanted to keep her conscious and calm."

What I also noticed, and liked, was his use of the plural "we".

Wouldn't it be funny if "Jennifer's" last name was Ignatieff?
