I guess we found mckenzeigh cause anyone with an iq higher than a mcrib would know of the instinctive drowning response and that you can’t really control drowning sometimes

I know right. A 15 year old girl once drowned in a lake near where I live (it's more like a public pool though) because she was in the middle of the water when she had a seizure. Every help was too late even though they immediately tried to get to her.

I’ve seen a grown man fully capable of swimming (passed the little “deep-end” test) go into a drowning response. He was just fine for a long while in the 12ft, but he suddenly just looked so lost and was slowly sinking under. He was lucky the lifeguard was paying attention and saved him (I was all of 9 and had no hope of dragging him to safety)

I was about 12 years old same age my daughter now. Me and my best friend at the time went to a public pool. I could not swim, I could be in water that I could stand in but that's about it. I was two maybe three feet from a lifeguard and I almost drowned. The lifeguard did nothing. It was actually my friend who saved me. She pushed me up against the wall so I can grab it. I wasn't even trying to be in the deep end what it was was the pool floor was slick they never clean the pool apparently or they didn't clean it good enough. So I slipped down into the deep end because it was on a steep incline. But yeah lifeguard did nothing I could have died. I even chewed him out after. I yelled how could he not see that I was drowning why didn't you help me? He just told me to quit horsing around. If I could go back to when it happened I would have spoke to the owner and tell them what happened because I really could have died.

I'm not sure where they are from, but from where I am from, lifeguards have to pass pretty rigorous tests.
