RE: Lifeguards: The Quiet Heroes We Overlook
an interesting text you wrote about life guards. I never saw one in action but can be that's because we all learn at the age of 4 how to swim (and more).
It will be hard to save a panicking person in sea.
On very rare occasions I hear about someone being rescued. In most cases it's by someone passing by or the fire fighters.

Yes, it's true, but many people have been saved by lifeguards; their impact can never be overemphasised.
Since we don't have them I can't tell. I assume they are less needed in a country where everyone needs to learn how to swim because of all the water, although I doubt everyone can (it's expensive to take the lessons) and those afraid of water will stay away from it.
