I'm glad the guest was okay, but I am slightly concerned a patron had to alert the lifeguard a guest was in distress, and secondly, the guard(s) mentioned this was the FIRST time they heard the whistle code to enact their emergency action plan - is this not rehearsed in training? Again, I'm so very thankful this young man was okay, but I think a closer examination of pool operations, and procedures, INCLUDING the use of the current lifeguarding certification agency should be reviewed to ensure this doesn't happen again with a lesser of an outcome.
I agree on the part where the lifeguard should have noticed the emergency much sooner. However, if this pool was using Red Cross as their certifying agency, this is perfectly acceptable because they allow 10 seconds to notice the emergency and 5 seconds to react.
Agree I am a lifeguard to ik it hard to keep an eye on everything but when you getting tranined you are supposed to scan bottom first then middle then top I work at the YMCA as a lifeguard and they do drills were the place a screen shaped as a human with fishing waights and we have 30secs to recins it and activate the EAP
Lifeguard should have been the one to spot the victim, scanning from bottom middle to top, they really could have prevented the drowning. Glad the victim made it! They need more training.

The boys friends should be praised for their obviously fast reaction
I just don't understand facilities that don't require a swim test for all of their young guests. It's playing with fire if you don't require it.
Why is there no lifeguard in the chair where they are doing the interview?
and no madman3470 if there's a CPR going on u defiantly need to clear the pool!!!!
so before any one was able to go to the deep end boi
Whyd they get an award for doing their job? Like shouldn't they be expected to do it without one? js
Ghost because it doesn't happen that often and when it does it is a big thing and even bigger for the lifeguard
I would only clear the pool for a spinal but each to there own.
+madman3470 You obviously arnt a lifeguard
✨
if that happened in Australia the lifeguard would of been fired!! she should of got to the kid before he drowned!!!!! #shitlifeguarding
