can you spot the drowning kid in this crowd? the life guard did. [View all]


Fortunately a quick-thinking lifeguard spots the commotion and blows her whistle before diving in the pool.
Using her lightening quick reflexes she manages to swim to the boy's aid within 10 seconds.
She quickly lifts the boy so his head and shoulders are out of the water and then she pats him on the back to ensure his lungs are clear.
Once the young boy has composed himself the lifeguard starts to swim over towards the side of the pool with the boy clinging on to a flotation device.
The man filming the footage can be heard saying to a member of pool staff: 'That was real.. I mean that was way out.. have you stopped it yet?'
