I once got a lifeguard cert at a summer camp full of crazy Canuks who hated Americans. The counselors had a high dive bellyflop competition from the high board. We'd put 'death rocks' in front of the doors to keep out the raccoons as big as my 50# dog. Fights with cans of OFF and lighters happened. Some metalhead randomly chucked a bowie knife at me across the room and it embedded in the bunk between my legs. They sat around playing cards like it never happened. It was a bit wilder then what I was accustomed to.
That Canadian water was ice cold and there were staying-underwater competitions. I'm a good swimmer but there were a few sketchy moments. They told us to offer an arm to a drowning victim, but if they panic and try to get on top of you, you just go under and swim away until they tire out and then go back. You may even have to dunk the victim to get them to release. Then pull them to shore with the head above water after water mouth-to-mouth.
Americans drowning? Just let them drown. Because you'll get sued otherwise. lol
