Spot the Drowning Child
Spot the Drowning Child is a very eye-opening (and incredibly stressful) website where the visitor is shown a YouTube video of a crowded swimming pool… and then asked to identify the child who is drowning.
Using actual footage that showcases moments where Lifeguards stepped in to save someone drowning, users are tasked with spotting the problem before the lifeguard does.
Until these videos, I never really understood the complexity and difficulty of being a lifeguard. Prior to learning about the drowning response, I don’t think I would have caught many of these incidents until it was too late.
