Why
is it that good swimmers drown?
What causes a water loving and highly skilled
individual to drown in guarded pools?
How is it possible that triathletes, swim team
members, lifeguards and even Navy Seals drown, particularly in traditional
competitive swimming pools?
The answer is easy, yet difficult to understand
and comprehend.After
years of reviewing medical and scientific research, and interviewing hosts
of medical experts to find the answers to the questions above, renowned
author and educator, Dr. Tom Griffiths, Ed.D. discovered that good swimmers
don’t drown, but die instead of other medical causes that often do
not show up at autopsy.
In fact, video just produced, reveals a myriad
of medical maladies that cause sudden death in the water, rather than
drowning, even when coroners mistakenly misdiagnose the death as a drowning.
In fact, the vitally important information will
actually educate the viewer more than some coroners have in this very
specific field of medicine.
The “Shallow Water Blackout” video is a comprehensive 30
minute presentation divided into four categories:
The primary audience for the video is lifeguard
trainers and supervisors, as well as managers and directors who establish
pool policies and most importantly, parents.
The secondary audience are lifeguards.
When lifeguards view this video, it should be
shown to them in separate segments; they should not view the entire video at
once because there is just too much new information presented.
Although this cutting-edge information is
presented in simple terms and should be easily understood, thirty minutes of
viewing entirely new subject matter may be overwhelming for many teenage
lifeguards.
A special thank you goes to the sponsors of this video. Without their support, production of this vitally important DVD would not have been possible.

We recommend viewing video in three separate sessions:
first, the Introduction and the Shallow Water Blackout section should be
watched.
During another classroom session, the Introduction
should be once again viewed with the Genetic “Drowning” Trigger segment.
Finally, during the third session, the summary
and quiz should be viewed.
Particularly, for teenagers and younger adults, this is
perhaps the best educational approach to this new and dynamic video.
The entire video captures many real-time “drowning”
scenarios and sudden deaths on video.
Because these dramatic rescues and
resuscitations are real and not “staged,” the lifeguards do not always
respond as professionally in front of the hidden camera as they should.
Instead the video shows "real life" responses to emergency situations.
But viewers should not shoot the messenger.
The dramatic and real footage clearly
illustrates just how quickly these catastrophies arise and how many cannot
be prevented.
Finally, the video strongly emphasizes the dangers of
competitive and repetitive underwater swimming that includes
hyperventilation.
The message comes across loud and clear,
ALL AQUATIC FACILITIES SHOULD MAINTAIN A BAN ON PROLONGED,
COMPETITIVE AND REPETITIVE BREATH-HOLDING ACTIVITIES.
Order your video now to prevent unnecessary deaths in
your pools and also lower your liability.
Also, teach your guards through this video how
to be better equipped to handle sudden deaths in your facilities and how to
respond professionally.
And remember, whenever there is a death in your
pool, call it just that, a death, rather than a drowning, until proved
otherwise.
