What are the outcomes of the drownings? I don't think I have the mental stability to watch kid after kid die for 10 minutes.

  These seem to be (based on two) lifeguard rescue videos. 30 seconds of lots of kids in a pool, lifeguard jumps in and swims to a person you were not able to spot needed help, and then they help that person back up safely.

    Ah thanks. Watched a couple of videos. I made the mistake of focusing too much on kids playing with the head underwater and lingering on them. You really have to focus everywhere. But damn the life guards seem good.

  By "drowning" they mean "displaying the instinctive responses to perceived difficulty maintaining breathing in the water" I haven't watched all of them. So far no one has drowned. For a variety of ethical and legal reasons I very much doubt any reputable organisation would put a video of a fatal drowning on their site.

    Your statement is technically correct, which everyone knows is the best kind of correct.

    I don't understand your point. I watched several and each showed someone who was drowning. There was nothing in the title that suggested that they would show fatal drownings.

  In the 5 or so videos I watched they were all rescued! The app seems to be timing your response relative to response of a lifeguard: negative seconds if you noticed before a lifeguard jumps into the water, otherwise positive.

  They don't drown/die. There is an instinctive response to not being able to keep oneself over water that has certain "look". The videos show busy pools and you basically try to find Waldo before the lifeguard pulls them out.
