panic attack...
You see how he almost drowned dude who tried to save him. When people start panicking they are dangerous. That's why lifeguards now a days just hand you something to pull yourself in with. A towel a stick stay out the pool and away from them. Unless it's a kid I ain't jumping in the water to save anybody and I was captain of my swim team in High school. LOL
I would have walked off and got me a fish sandwhich wile he drowned.
I bet his dumb ass won't be doing that shit no mo...
He went from being the coolest nigga at the pool party to dumb ass victim in 5 seconds.
Could be fake, but let me speak to all issues
The motion of swimming is usually mimicked by people who can't swim. They don't know how to coordinate so to speak and very quickly their mimicry envelops into panic once they realize they're not getting anywhere near the edge.
Attempting to save someone from drowning is the most dangerous and scary thing you can do. They will take you down with them and attempt to kill you both if they believe clutching on to you will save their life.
When I was deployed to Kuwait I saved a guy from drowning in the base pool, because of course the Air Force has a pool in a danger zone.
He jumped into the deep after playing tag with someone. Earlier we were playing volleyball in the shallow and he had swam into the deep end to retrieve the ball no problem. It hadn't gone that far.
All of a sudden, I heard, "HELP ME! SOMEBODY HELP ME!"
I immediately dove into the pool, but by the time I had gotten to him he had sank to the bottom. I swam down, pulled him up, and belly to belly swam with one arm to the edge of the pool.
Miller came to about 5 ft from the edge of the pool and began to climb up my body pushing me under. I fought, tried to get him off of me but he held me like I was a life raft. Eventually I was able to fight him off me.
Still, none of the people by the pool had reacted and Miller sank to the bottom again.
Again I swam down to get him, pulling him up by his afro and he was lethargic. This time I grabbed him Baywatch style, belly to back, arm around his neck and swam with one arm to the edge of the pool.
Same thing happened. He got to within 5 ft from the edge of the pool and began to fight me, grabbing hold of me. I felt water go into my mouth and lungs and again I was terrified because he wouldn't let go. I punched his arm but he held me tight as he clutched me like I was his personal life ring.
When I fought him off, he sang to the bottom again.
I swam down to get him again, again pulling him up by his afro. By then, Petty officer Rosario Charles had jumped in. Rosario Charles pushed Miller in the back and looked at me and I immediately understood the non-verbal communication.
Even though we were within 5 ft from the edge of the pool, Rosario Charles decided to push Miller to the shallows rather than to the edge which may have resulted in Miller pulling someone else in and attempting to drown them as he did me twice.
Rosario Charles and I alternated pushing Miller towards the shallow And when we reached 4 ft of water Miller's legs were so spent he couldn't even stand. We continued pushing him to the three feet area.
When we reach the 3 ft area, Rosario Charles yelled for everyone to back away. Even though Miller was still out of it, Rosario Charles and I got on one knee and had Miller sit down on our knees like a personal bench until he was able to clear himself. It was only after that where he could stand on his own that Rosario Charles allowed people to help Miller out of the pool.
For that I received a Navy achievement medal. I asked why petty officer Rosario Charles and I had not received the Navy and Marine corps medal (see qualification below), But the powers that be in my battalion did not want to write the paperwork.

The Navy and Marine Corps Medal may be awarded to service members who, while serving in any capacity with the Navy or Marine Corps, distinguish themselves by heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy. Typically, it is awarded for actions involving the risk of one's own life.
