- A video showing a boy almost drowning has been posted on YouTube and highlights the dangers of unattended children even in a swimming pool packed full of people
- Ten seconds into the video - believed to have been filmed in the U.S - a young boy loses control off his rubber ring due to the force of a passing wave and he topples helplessly into the water
- Fortunately a quick-thinking lifeguard spots the commotion, blows her whistle and dives into the pool - within 10 seconds she has come to the boy's aid
- According to water safety experts, almost half of children who drown die within 25 yards of a parent or other adult
The warning signs to look out for when someone is drowning are:
- Head low in the water, mouth at water level
- Head tilted back with mouth open
- Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus
- Eyes closed
- Hair over forehead or eyes
- Not using legs - vertical
- Hyperventilating or gasping
- Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway
