- __s 5y agoThere's videos of lifeguards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0KTqPloUiU&list=PLgqwWmjSsNRzDOAmtyRc9K3fO-VMpE07C https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0KTqPloUiU&list=PLgqwWmjSsN... Can be pretty hard to see, but no absolute about flailing

- solarengineer 5y agoI learned from other responses that a drowning person won’t necessarily splash about. See the other comment about how a father couldn’t spot that his daughter 10 feet away from him was drowning - he’d been conditioned by television that a drowning person would splash.
