THIS is the terrifying moment that a child begins to drown in a pool before a quick-thinking lifeguard jumps in to save them. Footage from TikTok shows dozens of people, especially kids, enjoying the water somewhere in the US, before the scary incident begins to unfold.

The lifeguard has his eyes fixed on the busy pool as he patrols down each end, but as he moves away from the camera a small child begins to thrash their arms about. However, their frantic actions are hidden among the mass of other moving people, so it’s tricky to distinguish who is playing and who is in genuine trouble. Suddenly, the lifeguard spots the danger and immediately jumps into the pool to swim towards the struggling child. In less than a second, he has hold of the panic-stricken kid and is safely carrying them back to the edge of the pool as they cling to his float. Did you manage to spot the drowning child before the hero lifeguard did? In an eerily similar incident at the same pool, another video captures the moment a lifeguard leaps to her feet and rushes to save a drowning child. Again, the struggling child was hard to spot among lots of moving swimmers, but the impressive lifeguard saw the issue straight away and carried the child to safety. Both clips were shared on TikTok to showcase the amazing work lifeguards do to keep pools safe. According to the National Water Safety Forum (NWSF), around 400 people in the UK drown every year. They say many of these deaths are preventable and more can be done to reduce this loss of life. NWSF hope to cut water-related deaths by 50 per cent by 2026.
