Life guard on duty saved a young girl from drowning. To video the event I used a Sony Cyber shot, HD 1080, 8.1 camera. I was walking closer to the rescue site while recording the rescue.
We’re not talking Baywatch here.

Being a good lifeguard is more difficult than most people imagine. After all, lifeguards do much more than just fish folks out of the water. Most are certified in emergency medical training and are trained to perform cliff rescues, helicopter rescues, and flood evacuations.
In addition, they’re certified search-and-rescue divers, as well as deputized law-enforcement officers.
Lifeguards rely on their instincts to spot red flags. Rip currents are the most relentless beach hazard, so guards constantly scan for sandy-colored waves and currents, dead giveaways that a rip has formed. They study the swimming habits of beachgoers, as well as their clothing (T-shirts and cut-off shorts may indicate the person doesn’t swim in the ocean very often). They also watch beachgoers’ general behavior: Are they confident, timid, unsteady, or overly risky?

Blackfield-Pain Lyrics:

Here I’m standing on the sea shore
She is gone, now she’s gone
All the angels praying for me
As I fall, As I fall

While I’m melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?

To me nightmare with the devil
I’ll go strong, I’ll go strong
All my friends now try to save me
What a joke, what a joke

While I’m melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?

While I’m melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?
Blackfield.
