So apparently Jennifer Lopez isn’t as strong of a triathalon athlete as the gossip rags have been portraying.

Splash news is reporting that she “almost drowned” while swimming through the Nautica Triathlon.

The waves were to high for her as she started to submerge and was left missing for a couple of seconds until her trainer helped her out. When she reached enough depth where she could stand on her feet she gave a big smile showing relief.

Well, I’m not surprised.  Try filling your pants with and anvil then swimming any great distance!

Let me add that while I think finishing any triathlon is commendable, I’m not above listing the other well known celebs who beat J. Lo’s ass.

Malibu Mayor Pamela Conley Ulich, with a time of 01:53, Heather Tom finished with 2:00, Eliza Dushku  with 2:22, and Emily Warfield also finished with 2:22.
