I wish they had talked about the fact that panicked drowning people will try to push you down to get themselves above the water. When I originally trained to be a lifeguard they made us practice on very large flailing muscular men, so we could get a real feel for it. They also trained us on how to get out of chokeholds etc when underwater.

[@CampfireHeadphase]

That’s terrifying!

[@amandatown800]

I’ve done that training and even doing the training is kind of scary because you can’t always catch your breath and you’re trying to help the person. Their natural instinct is to do anything that can get their head above water even if that means pushing you down. I can’t even imagine doing this with added waves and open ocean

[@lauraladyll]

@@amandatown800 Exactly. Natural instinct tells the drowning victim to survive in any way possible, which is why they make the training so hard. I definitely dreaded that part of the training, because it really was difficult to deal with someone who was acting psychotic and get enough air to do the manual labor of helping them and pulling them to shore all while treading water.

[@amandatown800]

@@lauraladyll yeah, it is a lot to handle at once. I was always told that if it comes down to it you have to save yourself first and I’m so glad that I never had to make that decision because I can’t guarantee it would be the smart decision. I’m the type of person that would want to help someone else no matter what it meant for me. Even just training it it was so difficult to listen to the instructions and push them off of me to get my head above water

[@laurelkelton6787]

My instructor told us to grab the victim’s thumbs and pointer fingers and twist if they try to do that to make them stop. Never had to do it and hopefully I never will.

Fellow lifeguard! I work at a lake for the summer and its the best job and its so rewarding. I have a swim background which helped a lot, and being a lifeguard isnt easy so huge props to you Michelle!

[@julissahernandez1413]

People who do this job are extremely brave...especially lifeguards who have to swim out in open water like this 😟how scary! I had anxiety just watching this. I could never. I give you props Michelle! Good job.

[@SurvivorOfChildAbuse886]

I am so glad that my YMCA lifeguard training in the next few months is nothing like this. There is no way I would be able to do ocean lifeguard training. God Bless all that do this job can’t wait to join you all as a certified lifeguard.

[@serena7710]

So terrifying, I'm really glad to see that Michelle did this. Being caught in a rip current is insane. I wasn't saved by a lifeguard, I was lucky to have my stepdad who threw me as far as he could and I think I swam for twenty minutes to get to shore? We were so far out it was insane- in such a short amount of time. I think I walked another thirty minutes to get to my mom, I just turned 13. It was so scary. I can't imagine how Michelle felt trying to get to her fiance. I remember openly sobbing while trying to find my mom after getting out of the water.

[@emilydarnell4808]

When I was 10 I got caught in a Riptide and I had to save myself because nobody was around. Swim diagonal and HARD. I'm lucky to have been a state swimmer at that age

[@Ninjagirl-mw3cd]

This is why i teach what to do if one gets stuck in a rip current to my students during safety day (I'm a lifeguard and swim instructor). Even though we don't live near an ocean I know exactly how it feels to be stuck in a rip current and it can be scary if you don't know what you are doing. But i was glad i remember what they taught us at school and i was able to implement before anything serious happened.

[@Kate-gd4oe]

Definitely! I’m an equestrian (hunter jumper) and I think she’d love the sport because men and women are 100% treated equally. Plus, like you said, so many people say it isn’t a sport and that it’s easy; even though it’s one of the most difficult sports!

as a jr lifeguard, i know this is so hard. i can hit the the 500 meter swim in around 9:29, so i barely hit the mark. i always keep in mind that you need training. it is so importaint to train hard and keep believing. i have done a lifeguard training program for 4 year now. i love this video it just shows all of this. i love ur vids soso much and ily

My dad was a lifeguard either one or more summers I think at a public pool. That was probably over 30 years ago. He still monitors the water when we’re at a pool or beach. That mentality stays with you for years.
