  • haha ok... im a lifeguard and i take my job seriously. but really? they were just kidding around....

  • I would think that this video was funny but then I took an arrow in the knee and fell in a pool

  • The comments on this video are fucking pathetic.

    seriously, lighten the fuck up.

  • wow he doesn't know how to do a rescue haha! besides that the guy had sweaty pits! lmfao! @:19

  • U fail! Do a better job! Just cuz ur training doesn't mean u can fool around!

  • being a lifeguard is a serious job. don't make fun of it

  • THIS IS A JOKE DIPSHITS!!!

  • FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS NOT FUNNY MY BEST FRIEND DROWNED TODAY AND ALMOST DIED! THESE ARE NOT REAL LIFE GUARDS YOU COULD EASILY TELL THEY ARE FAKE

  • Is this real?

  • I am a lifeguard / swim teacher / Leisure Manager / RLSS Trainer Assessor.

    No one should put "drowning" and "fun" together in video tags.

    If you want to have some fun to let off steam that's fine, but do not put unprofessional videos on here for all to see.

    Flagged:

    Harmful Dangerous Acts --> Other Dangerous Acts.

    I only hope no bystanders witnessing a river/lake drowning copy you and take their tops off, and rescue inadequately.

  • Comment removed

  • I don't care if it was a joke. have any of you (in the video) been through lifeguard training? I f you had you would have known hoe serious it is. We de more than sit in a chair and blow whistles at people.

    1.) You would be wearing you lifeguard tube

    2.) You would not take the time to even attempt to remove an article of clothing

    3.) You would respond before they go under as the person was ACTIVELY DROWNING!!!!!

    This video is offensive to lifeguards everywhere. Period.

  • @marchingthunderhawk also they put themselves in danger by diving into what looks to be only about 5 feet of water

  • mmm...I think you should better remove this vid, guys...

    

  • ...mmmm..I think you should better remove this video...

  • Did Any Of You Guys Read The Description?

  • you guys need to get a life

  • you dived, sit out for 15 minutes

  • fake, they would know not to dive, but to jump in and keep an eye on the victim at all times

  • LOL...the first thing you do when you see someone drowning is save them! Not take off your shirt!

  • i'm a life guard and that is fake

  • umm, its an ok video, but where the hell did u guys get ur lifeguard certification? outta a gumball machine? ur shouldnt have gone into the water right away. u couldve just reached out to the victim with ur rescue buoy. plus the 3rd female guard on deck should be helping out too by either calling EMS. cmon guys, get with it

  • OK LOOK I KNOW THIS MIGHT BE A JOKE TO SOME PEOPLE BUT I'M AN ACTUAL LIFEGUARD AND I HAVE HAD A DOUBLE SAVE A GRANDMOTHER AND HER GRANDSON. BEING A LIFEGUARD IS NOT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lifegaurds never dive in

  • lame

  • get a life

  • wow you guys are a bunch of kill joys. im a lifeguard and sure i take my job professionally when im working but when im hanging out with friends and want to make a funny video.. thats a different story.

  • come on guys,when you see a victim do you really have time to take of your shirt and also have time to wear the rescue tube so as to dive in a totally wrong way into the pool?ok you may had fun but personally i believe this insults the job of the lifeguards

    get a life....

  • wow... how unproffesional mates... I'm glad I don't work with you... even if it was just a joke.. It's completely wrong one way or another...

  • ?? why is everyone getting so pissed about it? yeah it isn't brilliant, it isn't particularly funny either and I believe I wasted 1:20 seconds of my life and now I'm wasting even more time writing to you but people get some distance to your job. Moongose they would be in trouble over what?? you would be in trouble for keeping 4 lifeguards unoccupied scratching their asses on empty pool. So people please chill out a bit from time to time

  • is this some sort of a joke? first off, keep the tube on, second off, pull the chair up to see maximum depth underwater, and do not dive, you need to do a compression jump to keep your eyes on the victom.

  • dumbasses i hope this video got you fired no matter what you are guarding the 12 foot deep pool at the bottom of a drop slide or the shallow end of a kiddie pool you always wear your rescue tube and jump in with what ever clothing you have on....i have jumped in in windbreaker pants and jacket (approved by the water park i worked at as well as approved by the agency that certified us as guards) this is insulting to everyone who is or has worked as a lifeguard and it is never a joke

  • Dumb asses indeed

  • u sucks

  • wow, this is really insulting to people who actually care about the safety of people at a pool. i take my lifeguarding job very seriously, and u guys are just acting like dumbasses i would feel unsafe with you being my lifeguard

  • @kissingcats000 Oh shut up, its a bit of fun stop being so pathetic and grow up you fucking nob

  • this is slander to your company man gotta be careful about putting things like that on youtube. Im pretty sure your boss would not like it...

  • wow epic fail, for one thing you grabbed them wrong 2nd your dove instead of compact jump and last you dont take your sweet little time to take off your shirt. lol

  • What kind of sick joke is this?

  • If I was your lifeguard supervisor you all would be in quite a bit of trouble. This is just pointless, it doesn't matter that it was a slow day or whatever, you still should keep your professionalism. It's not even really funny, just stupid.

  • if it were real then the other life guard by the pool wouldnt be laughing

  • 0:25 ahhH!!!!! this was funny XD but for anyone who tries seriously tries to rescue like that with the tube behind you and the excess leash not secured DONT DO IT you will strangle and choke yourself to death if it gets caught !!!

  • that aint half as funny!! if you guys really are lifeguards I dont find any humor in this!!

  • Although these guards claim they are joking, the sad thing is they do not realize the relevancy of their actions. Lifeguards, even bored, do not act like this. Furthermore, in a court of law this video would show the lack of professionalism and could cause the facility to lose the lawsuit.

  • Figures... They're Red Cross...

  • why is everybody so stressed out? apparently we all here are lifeguards and we know whats the proper way to do a rescue so chill out it wasn't a real person and im pretty sure they would know what to do in a real situation you wanna know why? because of the number one thing everybody noticed.. a lifeguard always has the tube on and i know that no matter what park or pool or whatever you're lifeguarding thats the first rule the tell you to certify you so chill out it was a joke

  • @ilalated, you have no room to talk or say anything considering your NEARLY lifeguard certified.

    @crazy7797, no compact jump huh? please oh please tell me the correct way then?

  • lol...everything wrong....wrong entry, wrong approach....

  • Oh my gosh people!!!! Settle down! It was for fun!! I am nearly Lifeguard certified, I know this was "wrong" but come on.. Get a sense of humour!

  • That was retarded

    A complete insult to all of us who do our jobs properly and professionally.

    It's a disgrace that we even have the same profession.

  • @imsooffended

    wrong on all 3 counts? HA! so you're telling me as an "instructor/'coach'" you promote not having your tube on, wasting valuable time to take your shirt off and diving in?

    please explain oh so superior instructor

  • lol they where standing

  • I like how people with medical training take offence to this. I work for EMS and with a stressful job like that you got to learn how to take a chill pill every now then! clearly these guys were bored at work and wanted to kill some time & have fun with a video camera and like most pointless videos, it made it's way on youtube. If it upsets you just move on and don't bitch about it.

  • That was full on!!!! Though next time try bombing the patient with your fattest lifeguard as most times the patient will go flying out of the pool, have other lifeguards ready to catch him to prevent head injury hitting the ground, otherwise well done!! Luke, Senior Life Guard

  • @TwistedSister09 find something better to do besides commenting on pointless youtube videos. You must not have a life.

  • Wow. All of you are dumbasses. IT"S A JOKE!!!! You people can't read.

  • ELLIS!

  • ....Red cross for you! Go ELLIS!!!

  • lifeguard diving into 1.2 meter deep water , buahahahaha

  • fake

  • @alojzbundy no shit..it's a joke

  • @TwistedSister09 i ment sh!t  even if its a joke

  • @alojzbundy Ohh okay. Lol. I thought you meant that you thought it was real.

  • @TwistedSister09 huh I am professional lifeguard , that crap fake rescue , trust me

  • Seriously does all people that comment here have a stick shoved up their asses?! Its a joke and no one was there so seriously, loosen up and laugh about it!! Their just having a little fun and thats all!! So all of you that have an stick shoved up your ass, Fuck of!!

    Funny video by the way!

  • @lillan2 agreed

  • And That ladies and gentlemen is why you don't give British people a camera

  • ME TIPOTA DEN EINAI ANYAGOSOSTES STAMPA EXOYN KANI TIS MPLOYZES

  • wow they werent even doing it right

  • @missycb34 maybe because it's a joke smart one...

  • It is understood that this is not a training video and is a joke. If it is true that all of the people portrayed in this video are actually certified professional rescuers, then that is a bit disturbing. If the "victim" cannot correctly imitate an active drowning victim, would he be able to recognize one? I'm sure everything being brought up in these comments are non-issues, because this is probably a private pool where no emergencies have ever taken place. PS jokes should be humorous.

  • Yeah this is so totally disrespectful. Lifeguarding is a serious profession that people spend their entire lives working towards.

    LOL

  • Okay so your having a slow day? What happens if a citzen see's this? How are you going to explain it to them that this was a joke? How are you going to do this, WHEN the pool is opened during hours as one of your comments would imply?

    I get it was a joke, but lifeguards having to pefrom rescues are never a joke! Trainings are meant to prepare not insult a make fun of one.

    I kinda agree this video is insulting to lifeguards! :S

  • how dumb

  • well....as a certified lifeguard i would have done things differently obviously they were joking...BUT...they have cute accents so if i was drowning i wouldn't mind if they saved me ;)

  • DEFENATELY NOT A TOUGH LIFE....WHAT DO YOU PRETEND.... IF IT WILL HAPPENED IN A REAL LIFE SITUATION THEY WILL NOT SURVIVE HALF A DAY WHEN THEY WILL NEED TO PERFOM LIFESAVING MANOUVERS.

    DEFENATELY A SILLY ACT. PLZ GUYS GROWN UP.

  • DEFENATELY NOY A TOUGH LIFE....WHAT DO YOU PRETEND.... IF IT WILL HAPPENED IN A REAL LIFE SITUATION THEY WILL NOT SURVIVE HALF A DAY WHEN THEY WILL NEED TO PERFOM LIFESAVING MANOUVERS.

    DEFENATELY A SILLY ACT. PLZ GUYS GROWN UP.

  • ur a dumb ass.. i agree

  • THe person is drowing and you don't notice. You go in with your shirt on.

  • I'm only in bronze cross and that was a fail. The "lifeguards" were smiling half the time. The person drowning usually drowns like climbing a ladder. C'mon guys, I can do better.

  • thats like a huge insult to lifeguards...idt your an actual lifeguard any guard with any sense wouldn't have done this...

  • totally real they can touch the ground

  • the sign said no diving but the lifeguards dived into the water lol.

  • idiots

  • im a trained lifeguard. THAT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!

  • lol its accualy kinda funny because the tow ''lifeguards'' were putting the girls head under water as they were bringging her to the side lol.

  • lifeguards save lives. not that you would know or anything.

    youre too busy making a fucking "PARODY'.

    suck my lifeguards balls.

    asshole

  • This is offensive. It is unprofessional and disrespectful to lifeguards everywhere. It gives the guards that actually take their jobs seriously a very bad name. If my boss ever caught us doing this where I guard every single guard on duty would be fired on the spot even if it was a slow day!

  • looks fake

  • lol I agree with amote69 as for your methods BUT DAMN THAT'S FUNNY haha, if we ever tried that where we work our boss would get so antsy haha, but then again we never have a slow day

  • It was just a joke! Everyone needs to chill out.

  • I am a lifeguard and this is so stupid! Should be Listen to this and you will kill people......More aggravating than funny. If you are lifeguards please hand in your certifications before someone dies!

  • sorry but I really dont think this is funny....being a lifeguard I find it offensive

  • @SqusihyHeartsYaoi youre retarded. Im a lifeguard and i think its hillarious. you know they were joking so chill the hell out. its not that big of a deal.

  • Wow, you guys are dumb. I am a lifeguard and that is not how you rescue someone. I hope you guys aren't actual lifeguards, and I hope you don't make another stupid video because it just makes us look bad. I know you guys said it was a joke, but guess what - it's not funny and no one is laughing.

  • Have some respect for yourselves and the duties you uphold, some pride in your training and the service you provide, and some dignity. when you are done doing that....and you sitll want to post a PRETEND LIFEGUARD GOOF OFF VIDEO...then dont do it in uniform or while on duty...and give it a title that lets everyone know. "LIFEGUARD HAVING FUN OFF DUTY" or "MORONS FUCKING AROUND WISHING THEY WERE LIFEGUARDS".

  • ok heres a tip...if you dont want people tpo take this seriously DONT BE A LIFEGUARD ON DUTY FUCKING AROUND...why? well aside from the fact that you look like a hack and obviously cant take criticism from your colleagues, you are portraying lifeguards as bumbling screw ups who have nothing better to do than FUCK AROUND and get PAID TO DO IT. You lot are representing the individuals who trained you, your employer, your fellow lifeguards, and the RED CROSS.

  • im a lifeguard and i found this hilarious...why the heck is everyone freaking out???

  • @basketcase5295 yeah im also a lifeguard and it was pretty funny.

  • Wann64 if u think this is funny, you really didn't get enough entertainment as a child. I'm a lifeguard and I love good jokes about lifeguards, but this Fails.. o_O.

    Poor guys.. =(

  • This is a example how do not rescue someone.

  • fake totallly

  • i think you did everything wrong

  • wow gay you did a million things wrong how the fuck are you assholes lifeguards.

  • Read discription guys

  • lol is dat rescuing or wrestling

  • first off i love how it is a joke 5/5 for the vid lol but in real life a lifeguard wouldnt take the time to take off his shirt lol

  • i would be yelling at the girl for not doing her part

  • LOOOL. retards;] OMGG. HAHA<3

  • Cute lifeguard video however, the thing that disturbs me is that you both dove into shallow water!

  • Take It Off! xD Nlmfao

  • Heyy I'm SRC in Sydney Australia and that us so lame and unrealistic. Your meant to reassure and support the patient as well as signal for assistance if the patient is distressed lol. Lame ass

  • basura

  • wow...thats all i got to say is wow

  • your reatarded for doing it..

    if your a lifeguard and you actually know how to do this then thats a different story..like if you were making this as a "how not to rescue someone video" then okay..but for some reason I dont think you are a lifeguard and you were making it for that purpose..lifeguards save lives and making fun or joking about what they do really isnt funny..

    so again your retarded for doing it

  • Everyone in the clip is a lifeguard, and we did it as a joke on a slow day - you know, joke, like humour - mocking something serious for laughs. Are you THAT retarded that i have to sit and explain a parody or comedy to you?

  • @wann64

    As a lifeguard myself, i understand the boredom of slow days and the urge to screw around and stuff... but you guys dove in... come on. Use your head. How would it look if the paper's headline said something along the lines of "Two lifeguards paralyzed from a parody video"

    I mean.. you guys could have played gutterball or something.. or backboarded each other for shits n' giggles but diving was a little much.

  • @wann64 there are a lot or lifeguards out there that really don't know what they're doing. I can see someone thinking that this is really how you're supposed to make a save. Hopefully you guys aren't "those guards."

  • @wann64 Some people need to stop being so serious.

  • @wann64 point is even if its a slow day you should still be doing your job and not making stupid videos.

  • @amote69 dude.... im a life guard loosen up u tool ahahaha

  • @amote69 fuck off

  • this is prolly the worst portrayal of a lifeguard rescue..

    A) you already have your tube on

    B) you dont take the time to take off your shirt

    C) you dont dive in, you compact jump

    im not going to even start on the CPR and rescue breathing..

    this is RETARDED!!

  • your retarded if your taking this seriously

  • @wann64 D) the way that you take it off the pool

    and you are saying that all of you are lifeguard in a previous comments?!

    damn where do you do the lifeguard course, for post mail?

    and yeah i agree with the most voted comment

    this is a insult for all lifeguards.

    and if you are a real lifeguards you sould know that the moral of this video is that all lifeguards are doing a bad job!

  • @amote69 you mean stride jump. haha but agreed terrible rescue not only that it was dangerous because of the dive.

  • @amote69 wrong on all three counts, I would explain myself but I ran out of chars trying, I would PM you if you want to. (oh, I am an instructor/lifesaving coach BTW)

  • @amote69, you don't do a compact jump for a rescue. Just saying

  • que malo el rescate

  • take this fuck'n video off you uTube.

    Too bad you didn't smash your melon on the bottom!!!

  • chill out man, its a bit of fun

  • wen i wuz at the beach wit my friends the life guards jumped in n we were sayin " do u see anyone drowning??" we looked around but didnt see anyone drowning. then we couldnt see the lifeguards anymore!! thn we got jumped by lifeguards!!! we werent drowning until they draged us through the water!!

  • derpa derpa

    good thing this is a joke

  • I counted 6 possible lawsuits

  • those life gaurds dont even know what there doin.

  • FAIL ! im an actual lifeguard & thats NOTTT how you do it. buttt it was funny.

    && we play around like that at work too but when a REAL emergency happens..we dont play. :]

  • This was a joke. A bad joke. At least the girl could have been hot.

  • Gaaaayyyyyy

  • Took way too long...

  • LMFAO

  • HE LOOKS HOT WITYHOUT HIS SHRT

  • Wow an insult to all lifeguards.

  • haha he was like, we gotta put his head in this thing, and the "victim" was still underwater when they pulled him in

  • alright, recommendation from a lifeguard... never jump in with your rescue tube sitting on the ground just in case somebody is standing on it or something, you just could've gotten strangled

  • i second these comments on how retarded this was. I will remember if I see these guys at my pool.

  • This is Down Grading every gurd and thats not right we do good thing to save peoples lives

  • wow another insulting stupid guard video

  • fukin twats lol

    he said rescue breaths and only done 3 :S

    :P

  • subnormales

  • Why did you take off your shirt? And why did another guard jump in? Also what the hell do you call that head support?

  • Haha wow. This is more like a "what not to do" video.

    My superiors would have fired me on the spot if I pulled anything like this.

  • just because it's red cross doesn't mean it's bad, red cross is actually pretty good maybe you should look into them before you start criticizing.

  • exactly. I am red cross trained and Jeff Ellis trained. both are great. People just think red cross is bad because they arent as strict as an organization like Jeff Ellis. But you are right. they are good and they do a lot of other to help people too

  • I am Canadian National lifeguard service trained... I dont know guys... But according to my standarts they did most of the things terribly wrong...How about red cross??

  • well, according to red cross, they were terrible! They would have been fired from any job almost on the spot.

  • @snowbuddy2692 get the stick out of your ass

  • hmmmmm...... must be red cross...because that was pretty bad

  • HAHA that was going to be my comment exactly! ellis FTW!

  • me parece una tomada de pelo; los guardavidas DE VERDAD salvan vidas y su trabajo es muy serio...

  • hahaha he dives in on his entry when it says no diving lol.

  • lol!

  • i know your joking but, first a lifeguard doesnt dive in like baywatch, and second your tube should be around your chest, not dangling behind you. it would have been REAL funny if your tube snagged on something and it jerked your ass backwards!!!!

  • yeah totally, and he should have been wearing it when on duty. Also, how could they not se him going from distressed to active victim? he is like the only swimmer in the water.

  • are you evan qualified? that was disgusting!

  • wow u people think its a joke. its not. i am proud of wut i do.

  • those were not by the book. that was pathetic.

  • Way not to watch your slack, then dive into shallow water. Could've caught on that chair and you'd be in a world of hurt.

  • wow the worst rescue attempt ever, btw shirt stays on and rescue tube stays uncliped, lol even thou it was'nt a serious rescue attempt

  • no good.

  • hahaha

  • good job diving in shallow water there! real smart! you could have a DNS and two spinals
