    I also like this video cause it's clear Michelle is incredibly ripped, but despite that, every sport or exercise she hasn't done before is still hard. A reminder that no physical activity is inherently better than another, just works with different muscle groups and mental endurance.

    I wish they had talked about the fact that panicked drowning people will try to push you down to get themselves above the water. When I originally trained to be a lifeguard they made us practice on very large flailing muscular men, so we could get a real feel for it. They also trained us on how to get out of chokeholds etc when underwater.

      I’ve done that training and even doing the training is kind of scary because you can’t always catch your breath and you’re trying to help the person. Their natural instinct is to do anything that can get their head above water even if that means pushing you down. I can’t even imagine doing this with added waves and open ocean

    So terrifying, I'm really glad to see that Michelle did this. Being caught in a rip current is insane. I wasn't saved by a lifeguard, I was lucky to have my stepdad who threw me as far as he could and I think I swam for twenty minutes to get to shore? We were so far out it was insane- in such a short amount of time. I think I walked another thirty minutes to get to my mom, I just turned 13. It was so scary. I can't imagine how Michelle felt trying to get to her fiance. I remember openly sobbing while trying to find my mom after getting out of the water.

      This is why i teach what to do if one gets stuck in a rip current to my students during safety day (I'm a lifeguard and swim instructor). Even though we don't live near an ocean I know exactly how it feels to be stuck in a rip current and it can be scary if you don't know what you are doing. But i was glad i remember what they taught us at school and i was able to implement before anything serious happened.

    I literally almost cried as the lifeguards came back to swim with her to the finish line. I love that moral support. Also, Michelle's strength and stamina never cease to amaze me!

    Hey Michelle,
    I'm 13 (turning 14 in 6 days :) you have inspired me so much. I just wanted to say that your videos give me strength and teach me I can do anything. Thank you ♡
    Oh and Garrett congrats for being alive :)

    I am so glad that my YMCA lifeguard training in the next few months is nothing like this. There is no way I would be able to do ocean lifeguard training. God Bless all that do this job can’t wait to join you all as a certified lifeguard.

      Yes, the resume will have 1 item: UA-cam content creator. Trying something for a few days at an amateur level does not go on a resume or qualify you for anything.

    She did a very good job!!! and I love how everyone was just so supportive. A lot of people think being a lifeguard is just a normal job but it's a day-to-day risk as well.

    I think it’s so sweet that the other lifeguards came back for her! That is some teamwork.
