  • FAKE!

  • bunch of lies!

  • muy facil!

  • This was obviously a training exercise. The victim had a better swim stroke than the rescuer. Real victims don't yell help than launch into backstroke moving further away from land.

  • By what do you judge the swimming skills? Lifeguard is supposed to approach the victim safely, with his head ABOVE the water at all time. You are not gonna see Olympics-like pool swimming by lifeguards in the sea. Second, you obviously do not know what kind of victim it is. It is a swimmer who has trouble coming back due to the rip-tide, they often scream for help, and they are not yet drowning.

  • No genius....I am talking about the victim's stroke. It was a good stroke and he was swimming out further away from the rescuer which is what we do when we are doing a training exercise. I know because I've been an ocean guard for 22 years and am the director of training. Who cares, if you want to think its real..great. It just looks like the thousands of training exercises I've been involved with and none of thousands of rescues I've seen. Secondly, I wasn't commenting on the "rescuers" stroke.

  • Also Hasselhoff, you should now its called a" rip current," not a "rip tide" since the tide has no direct influence on the outward movement. In fact, the rock groin here has a permanent rip ideal for training exercises. Lastly, the open water stroke your trying to describe is an approach stroke, with the head out of the water unless the water is choppy or with large swells that effect visibility. In which case, the guard should swim with their head IN the water for a faster response time.

  • lame

  • dog that lifeguard got to him quick!

  • i thought it was a girl.....;)

  • Looks like the guy was just confused but, he definitely wasn't struggling!
