It's incredible how much text there's about it and zarroh video material. So difficult to hire an actor and show us dummies how drowning does look like? There's enough CPR videos, thanks a lot for them, yet about drowning just blah and confusing animations. </angryrant>

- cycomanic 5y agoLook at the post further up were a poster pointed to http://spotthedrowningchild.com/ http://spotthedrowningchild.com/ which uses videos.
- soco 5y agoI'm missing the explanatory, clear, close-up videos. The gamea with a pixel-wide kid somewhere in the background would then work to check on that learning.
- Natsu 5y agoThe game is very good to train yourself even without knowing ahead of time what you're watching for. That said, there's a relatively close up video here and it actually takes the lifeguard a while to react: https://www.webmd.com/parenting/video/can-you-spot-drowning https://www.webmd.com/parenting/video/can-you-spot-drowning
- ineedasername 5y agoRefresh a few times, it seems to present examples randomly, and some are much more close up than pixel-wide. Regardless, consider the job of the lifeguard: They don't have the benefit of clear close-up sight of all swimmers. If you can't spot the drowner when you know there will be one, imagine how much more difficult it is for a lifeguard who doesn't know when a crisis will occur. Unless you're willing to go to lifeguard school, learn to train yourself on the hard-to-spot examples without explanatory details: you'll be a lot more likely to gain a potentially life-saving skill.
