Today, I was swimming at the water park, when out of nowhere a lifeguard bombed into the pool, grabbed me, and hauled me to the surface, running his hands over my chest in the process. Apparently, the way I swim makes it look like I'm in my drowning death throes. FML

I have to get this out there- there is certain ways a lifeguard can make contact to save you without endangering himself, a lot of lifeguard deaths are due to the drowner diving on them, the safest and most practical carry is a chest carry, one arm going from on top of the shoulder to below the opposite armpit, if his arms weren't praticularly long he might end up nearer your chest, believe me im halfway qualified to being a lifeguard, I've done this in practice and exams on females, I agree you might think its weird but nobody would complain if their life was saved at the cost of accidental groping!

did you play dead until he touched your chest? I'm just wondering how he didn't catch on that you were breathing until after he prepared you. He wouldn't have tried CPR if you were breathing. YDI

No where does it say that the lifeguard tried CPR 108, also you can still be breathing and begin to drown. That's the point of a lifeguard. To save you before you stop breathing. Dear OP, I don't see why you felt it necessary to tell us that the guard ran his hand over your chest.

Maybe because it's half the reason the situation was so bad for her. Contrary to popular belief, most women don't enjoy being molested by strangers.

it makes it seem like she considers it inappropriate, hence the comment.

It's strange to me that so many Americans don't know how to swim. In Aus EVERYONE knows how to swim.

when people are drowning its not like they show in the movie, If you were swimming like your trying really hard to stay above water he prob thought you were about to drown. the life guard was just doing his job.
