How a small person can rescue a big person who has drowned: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kM2irK6kztm6hZs.html

I lost my dear brother due to drowning, I wish I knew how to rescue him. Till this day I can't forget the tragic moment the happened in front of my eyes.

I served as a lifeguard for two years. At a pool and a lake. Murky water training is a whole world different than pool training. For example, lake certificate you must complete a successful stride entry. That is jumping into the water without your head submerging. That way if the victim goes under you have a rough idea of where they are under the water. If a victim is unable to be retrieved you have to make a line in the deep lake water with all the lifeguards and continuously dive and sweep the water for hours! I was Boy Scouts of America Certified which was an identical course to the Red Cross training. Feel free to ask any questions regarding my experience, I would be delighted to inform!

One tip, when someone is drowning you want to keep an eye on them at all time, that means you can't jump and put your head underwater like he did because its then easier to lose seight of the victim and then take more time to respond. Also, when you get to a drowning person you want to have a floating objet with you. Otherwise you could drown with them, because a person in distress will take the first thing that comes their way to help themselves. If it's you, they could push you underwater to keep their head above water. Meaning you always have to push an objet to them before approching. And sometimes the person could be heavy, so the floating object is also there to help you keeping them and yourself safe.

The one thing I was taught in Scotland is that is someone is drowning and panicking they will grab you and push you under the water. So you use a piece of clothing to tow them. This happened last year in Loch Lommond where the people that tried to help ended up drowning too. Remember if people are drowning not to let them drown you too. Be safe around water and know how to save lives 🙏

I rescued a child in a pool once, I'm not sure anyone even noticed it. He was 3-4 years old on a floatie and slipped off. I was standing on the edge literally right next to where he went under, and jumped in and pulled him up (I had a mouth full of food, which I always remember for some reason). There were a lot of kids and it was crowded - I was only a teen myself. He's married and I think has a son now! But they're absolutely right, drowning is quick and subtle.

Nice video. But can you please do an underwater shot of how the rescuer moves his legs and arm swimming backwards while holding the drowned person?

I met a Middle Eastern Mum who was fully covered and brought her young son to the pool to swim. He was playing by himself in the adult pool, and almost drowned. I was there with my young son and husband in the pool. I saw the kid drowning in the pool at the shallower side of the pool. So I swam towards him, and dragged him out of the water. His mum came afterwards checking if he's fine. It's not a pleasant experience for me although I was happy he was fine. It's surreal and scary to be in the situation. It's not my first time rescuing a child but my feelings was always the same. It was in the hotel pool so there was no guard. Anyway, what I want to say is if a parent wants to bring a child to the pool especially in one without a lifeguard, please ensure you change into a proper swimming attire and go down to the pool with your young child and ensure he stays at a safe level in the pool. Bring along an adult who can swim well to watch over the child if you cannot swim.

Quick question: I actually know the basic swim movements, but I have a fear of water because I almost drowned as a child. However when I was about 16 or 17, I had to swim at school, and my swim teacher wanted me to go into the deepest pool. She assured me that my movements are good enough to actually swim, however my fear holds me back. So I listened and went in, it went well in the beginning, I stuck close to the walls just in case, however after a while I started panicking and drifted off, further into the middle, then all of a sudden I started splashing, and eventually I was drowning. Damn I was scared, choking on water, no-one in sight (At this point I still wasn't crying out for help, because of embarrassment and just not truly recognizing the danger quite yet) However, I then remembered what people say about not panicking, so I actually calmed down, allowed my body to sink a little deeper, but now with less thrashing, I was able to better recognize my movements and just repeated the skills I learned, how to move my arms, and legs, and pushed myself back to the surface and swam back against the wall. I finally realized what had happened and let out a deep sigh of relief. But afterwards I decided not to push my luck and just didn't go into the deepest pool ever again. What do you guys think about this story? Do I really just have a fear holding me back? Or should I just stay the hell away from deep waters? 😅

Good thing we dont have 30 second unskippable ads in these kind of videos

That thing with children and bathing rings is a very real danger. I remember being on vacation with my mom. We were at the hotel pool and I had my bathing ring on. Children are stupid and don’t think their actions through. In the spirit of this I jumped, head first, into a relatively deep part of the pool, bathing ring equipped. It was way smaller than the one in this video so I was quite literally stuck upside down in the water. Luckily my mom was watching from her seat, as responsible parents do, and jumped in to save me. I have no idea if there was a life guard, but I really hope my mom was just faster than them.

Underwater videos needed ! It needs a lot effort to bring a person to the shore 🥰 so we need step by step guide 😉

If that hot life guard dude was at my pool I'd definitely consider faking a distress

I'd go swimming everyday if the lifeguard look like that

For submerged vic recovery, you want to protect the airway as well either by pushing the head down or by covering the mouth and nose.

I wonder how strong you'd have to be to pull yourself and someone up

I just rescued someone from drowning yesterday, just pulled his hands and get him to safety. I didnt know the right technique, and now I'm watching this.

Ay Dios, ¡lo que se encuentra cuando se nada en Internet! llegué a este vídeo buscando técnicas para patear menos y tener mayor velocidad. Muy interesante esto del rescate. Creo que generé adrenalina sólo viéndolo sentada en la comodidad de mi sala. Gracias, me gustó.

What about the technique of how to hold them while they're struggling so that the don't drown you?

Not gay but I need this man to watch me when I swim lol

I remember me, my brother, and my gf swimming in Lake Michigan last summer when I was 17, during a yellow flags day with heavy undertow. I was enjoying the big waves while bouncing off the bottom. My gf and brother are not good swimmers at all so that’s why we have just been staying in areas where we can touch the bottom but I start searching for my brother and I see he’s far out treading water and I knew something was wrong so I go to get him. I get to him and he’s in a spot where even I can’t touch. I feel like the waves undertow was sucking us out more so I try physically dragging him to me. We both go under and I’m trying to get up while trying to hold him up because I know he wouldn’t be able to tread while the waves are bombarding us. I turn around and my gf is right behind me. I’m screaming for her to go back while I’m gasping for air and burping up water in between the waves and so is my brother. Either she gets sucked out and I make it to her and the waves are still horrible and I’m on my tippy toes along the bottom while my gf and brother cling on to me. I try holding them up, Each wave that comes we’re all submerged and come out burping up water and gasping. My little brother let’s go at somepoint because he sees what’s happening to me. I start to go sideways from shore because that’s the only thing I can think of doing. We get to a spot where I know my gf can actually stand and I tell her to go get out and I turn around to find my brother. I see two men wading out and I scream at them to help my brother who’s closer to them now. The men seem to struggle too while getting them out. I am a football player and wrestler so I am decently strong but I felt helpless in this Situation and I thank God that he allowed us to live. The sounds of us burping up water and gasping for air in our panic and desperation haunts me to this day a year later and I can’t get it out of my mind. I pray no one will ever have to go through something like that. I’ve had nightmares and episodes of trauma. Whenever I see someone remotely struggling in water or gasping in water or thrashing around it tightens my throat and I feel the panic inside me start to rise. I think about what could of happened that day and it makes me horrified.

This is recommended as I’m gonna be a lifeguard this summer 😂❤ but on a real note I have rescued a kid from drowning while the pool was doing those waves and i was swimming with my friend and I just noticed something behind me he was face down but wasn’t getting up for air as someone would eventually, I just put my goggles and looked underneath and he was clearly grasping for air and just flailing around so I lift him up under his arms and the poor thing just buried his face on my chest and hugged me and started crying, his face was red and I asked do you know where your mom or dad is? He must of not been no older than 4-5 years old with no flotation device and at the deepest end of the pool, me and my friend signalled and shouted for a lifeguard sitting on those high chairs but he wouldn’t look at me, I was worried he inhaled water into his lungs; he finally spotted his parents and I said what happened and I think they should take him to the hospital to check he doesn’t have water on his lungs; they didn’t even care. I hope that boy is fine and doing well today. I’m relatively small, short and with a lot of health issues, and if it was a heavier and taller person than me idk how I’d do it, so thanks for this video ❤

That video was PERFECTION !!!

So scary I noticed he grabbed the person from behind the head this should of been mentioned

Very informative. Keep it up

The man is like a hero that's crazy how people can swim that fast

Thank you very much for a demonstration

This is amazing, informative and funny 😂

from my experience of almost drowning, it starts with lots of splashing, then i just sink to the bottom, eyes closed contemplating what will happen next, then my brother saves me

Um I want that life guard to rescue me :D

I just finished my silver DLRG certification yesterday! Your holds are a bit different but the basic content is the exact same and it’s cool to see the small variations!

I’m just imagining the civilian’s minds like thinking they actually drowned

really useful ❤️

Much more informative than BABEwatch !

My husband recently got into the river drunk and the current was taking him out. He was swimming against the current so I ran in to help him then had to call his friends. I was so pissed, I told him not to go deep and yet he wanted to show off. His friends were saying no he is fine and yet not noticing he is swimming against the current because they don’t know about that. Worst experience in my life.

Nice content man keep up the good work

He is strong..Bravooo 🥰🥰

Good content keep it up!

He has put in a lot of effort

It is a shame that we are no longer in the late 1990s

Cool edits

Nice 👍

It would be a little different for a head, deck or spine injury. But great video

Wait so even if they are sunken like that to the bottom they are still considered “drowning” instead of just drowned or dead? How long till they die then

Can you make a video of how to swim back up from water without floating

I love the background music but I think my swimming strength is not enough to rescue someone drowning especially already drwoned

Thanx

When I was younger I wanted to be an ocean lifeguard but I was rejected because I didn't look hot like those Baywatch guards.

A pool is different, but in a lake if im with someone who starts drowning and panicking, if he is bigger than me im not going to go close to him. Because he will just drag me down and we both die.

1:32 I didn't know a women can be saved by pulling on their hair like this. Interesting to know

Which country is this? Nice big swimming pools, very spacious surroundings! 👍

I'm just amazed how he does the underwater save without goggles.. impressive merman!

OMG Oscar save me 🤤😍😍

If someone is drowning, they will be frantically grabbing and pulling on the person trying to save them. Once water gets into people's nose or airway, they won't be able to transition into being calm. Secondly you have to be really strong to save someone from the bottom because you have to kick up yourself plus them. This made it look too easy. If you aren't as calm or as strong as trained lifeguards, you will only be joining in as an extra drowning death.

How did you stay at the bottom of the pool like that?

On my phone the thumbnail looks like two sumo wrestlers underwater .

I almost drong today, i was in a pool without knowing how to swi., dove to what i thought was the 5 foot section but when i ran out of breath under water, all i could to is try to jump up, but i couldnt breath because my mouth kept getting full of water and now i jabe p.t and dont ever want to be near uncomfortable depths in a pool or ocean

You guys should have shown a video underwater while kicking so every newbies will see the kicking techniques. That's the most important part and you missed it. 😅

Aqua mans competent brother

It is just WTF... real drowning is completely insane

I was olso drowning while swimming in Hrishikesh Ganges river ..but just one day earlier only I performed last rites of my mother in the same river..n next day I swam aftr 10 years hnce after a minute or so I started drowning but somthing happnd strange n miraculously I popped up out of water like somone lifted me up it happnd in seconds dat I cudnt get it actually initially..but then people n mi sister miself guessed it was my mom who saved my life that day like an Angel still she does all the time ..I miss my mom ol the time and get gt out of this loss

Oscar the real aqua man 😆

It is easy for a stable person to save but what about a panic one, explain

swimmers are just overall great people

Totally disagree. If someone is actively in distress you need to grab and give them a flotation device. Absent that a pole, a stick, etc. Coming right up to a drowning person like that would be the last choice. Reason is a drowning person is desperate/panicking and will claw and grab at you. They'll bring you down under the water in an attempt to get to the surface themselves. Don't be another victim. Get a flotation device.

111 claimed by the ONEEE

When I was a child my older brother used to do the upside down donut on purpose 🙄

I trying to save a person but he drowned after the ad is finished. It’s JUST A JOKE

外國的泳池也太深了吧 0口0！這至少六米深耶...

yes. i learning now

For me, my mother would tell me not to save someone from drowning, even if I know how to swim, my mother would just tell me not to. So, I am just gonna someone drown if that's what my mother says.

Do you need to go underwater with your lungs full of air or empty?

What if the drowning person is so panicking and accidentally keep drag you down? Iam almost died becuz that,glad my friend was there too

I hear you put your arm around the neck because my dad lost his brother from drowning and instead of putting his arm around my late uncles neck he wrapped his arms around his stomach, my uncle slipped out of my dads grasp 3 times and after the 3rd time he drowned. My dad almost drowned too but he was saved.

i dont mean to make actual advice comical or anything, especially bc everyone is talking abt saving lives and shit, but, i clicked on this video thinking that to guy on top of the other guy in the thumbnail was moist critikal and was SHOCKED to find it wasnt.

Tips: you can breath in this video.

Bring something they can grab that floats if they are not small persons, otherwise the could drag you down in panic!!

He applues the extended arm,that's what I've been though above all in case of awake and panicking person

Can you do a bit in sea

Bro is like aqua man

How deep is the pool seems like 20+ feet 🔥

Tbh the only reason im watching this is cause i almost drownd today twice

I trying to help a drowning person but got an add and I could not skip it so ummmm

🤩☆

I almost died today and none of the life guards did anything because I was drawing in front of them but and I don't know how to swim and the rope that says where it's deep it lied so I almost drowned and I somehow saved my self I couldn't move for 20 sec but then I could move slowly and survived.

Even in the Caribbean its probably called floating arse up.

I'll try

maybe try not putting ads in these type of videos

the real word for that last tecnique on the caribbean is called flotar de culo/nalgas

When I was about four I was at my grandma's sisters house and we were walking bye her pool and BOOM I slipped in and my 7yo brother dives in a grabbed my hair and saved I am great full for that annoying sibling

Title is misleading. You didn’t show us how to save the person, you showed us how it’s done. I was looking for how to pull the person out of the water.

sir add a scenario where they are grabbing you then you are the one who cannot breathe

Hey dred I’m drowning ❤

Not to long ago we went to our local pool we brought our friends and my friend was in the deeper part and she tried her best to survive soon enough my dad went in and saved her i literally felt horrible not helping because i thought she knew how to swim

Why pretending to drown, that’s not a real emergency

I wish i knew this before loosing my sister I am helpless at that moment 😭😭😭

im gonna make a life guard because I’ll save the kid drowning not him 😊

how deep is that pool?

The only problem is when i tried to help people in drowning, His got panic, I almost drowning too when i tried to help people when drowning

How to become a life guard?
