So many young lifeguards on duty witnessed this tragedy. We thank all lifeguards for the service they provide and acknowledge the emotional toll it takes. Their unwavering dedication to duty and support for one another during challenging times is commendable.

Prayers to the family of the deceased. The Junior Lifeguards should be proud of themselves for their strong professionalism and teamwork during this time.

Poor young lifeguards. Not something that one is ever truly prepared for. But they did good!

This was so powerful to watch. Bringing the deceased home to his family is huge for them. Much respect to the whole team and a special mention to the junior members, who worked so hard and professionally.

Before I became an emergency medical technician, I witnessed a person's passing. After a few weeks, I became quite distressed and depression, but I realized I could work through it. A few years later, I volunteered as a medic. It was stiĺ difficult but got easier. I commend these young people for their service to help others. God bless you all.

Prayers for the victim and his family. I wish that everyone involved in this recovery can handle this event properly, especially the young lifesavers. You guys did an amazing job and did your best. Such things are difficult to handle for experienced lifeguards, too. So I wish the best for you.

2007 when this aired. But weather it was filmed 200 years ago, 20 years ago, or it happens in the future. The task never gets easier. Stay strong, stay compassionate, and remember its okay to cry

You all are awesome. Respectful. Thank you.

[sasfishadventures]

UGH sorry but these lifegaurds are only 15 and are way too young to be seeing this. Should have to be 18+ to be a lifegaurd. What if these kids get ptsd and trauma from this 😢😢 😢😢
