This one was too easy; spotted it almost immediately into the video. It's usually fairly easy to spot people "out of their element"--he was not floating with the waves and was going under every single time. I had my eye on him so much I was afraid I was going to miss the "real" victim and I had to force myself to keep scanning :/ Just as bad.

Yeah, after training my eyes on these videos, I just sort of defocus and watch for the drowning person's swim and I can often spot them before the guard whistles (obviously, I have huge advantages and have seen them more than once). There's one were a few people thought the guard was too fast--they went in immediately after someone flipped their tube and went down head first. But I've seen enough of the other videos to recognize the fact that they really were drowning at that point. I just thought that one video was a good example of how everything changes once someone starts drowning, because it wasn't a tube flip or anything like that. It was just someone who had a few waves knock them under and cause their instincts to switch on and you can see exactly where the transition occurs and they go from swimming (if struggling) to drowning.
