      Watched more videos... This fast movement of your head must just be to convince supervisors you're watching everything. It's much more effective for me to scan with my eyes than try to make my eyes keep up with my bobbing head.

      @@pumpkinkoot865 imagine its easier for your gaze to divert when there would be multiple people swimming in one area and the head bob is to even slightly catch more contact of someone potentially obstructed from view or catching someone closer to you in your periphery so you want to scan focused and efficiently and not dart your attention around too fast, At least thats what I am guessing because scanning my room and bobbing my head right now my gaze is also focused on one point

      I was a lifeguard over 20 years ago and I did something similar to this. I wasn't taught it, I just had anxiety that someone would be drowning and I didn't see them. I didn't move my head nearly as much though. Between moving my eyes and my head slightly, I figured it was barely noticeable.

    • @egoleo6693

    DDOI brought me here.
    I was curious how that scan method was effective. I understand that you are observing all areas and fast so you can spot something wrong asap.
    But I'm wondering if that would work with my brain lol I feel like I would be so focused on scanning I would scan right over Timmy drowning and seems like they're looking so fast everything would be a blur. I think slowing down the scan would make more sense (at least to me) so I could properly put my attention on each person instead of blurring right passed them not even paying attention to their activity.
    But maybe I'm overthinking it and someone drowning would be obvious to notice.

    I still remember the horrible last day of swimming at the 'Y'. I had finished swimming & pulled myself out of the water. Then I had one of my RARE dizzy spells & fell backward in the pool. I had a SPLIT SECOND to yelp. If no one heard the yelp, SURELY someone heard the big SPLASH of someone hitting the water! I quickly got my bearings & pulled myself up to the side. I was gasping & panting, just holding on to the side. Then I realized, "WAIT A MINUTE!" I looked toward the lifeguard station & saw her just sitting there. I looked for the other one, who was walking & checking the shallow end! NO ONE came to see if I was all right!

  • @rikard4511
    @rikard4511 Před 9 měsíci +5

    At Pirbadet, Trondheim, the lifeguards are called «baths hosts» and walk between all the swimmingpools, (oke pool around the size of the one on this video) there are at least 11 pools, small and big, in different rooms, not to mention at least 5 saunas that they also check. It can be several minutes between each time a pool host pass by. They have video surveillance in critical spots too, but i dont know.

  • @sydneykendall7125
    @sydneykendall7125 Před 8 měsíci +4

    I understand turning the head to scan your whole zone, but I'm curious about the head-bobbing. When I try that - and I've been sitting here copying the lifeguards in the video to test it 😊- I get into a kind of hypnotic, sleepy state. Maybe it doesn't do that to everyone, but it's not what I would be doing if I wanted to stay alert.
    If I turn my head slowly and scan up and down with my eyes, or even with a very slight, barely perceptible head bob, I'm fine.
    I guess I couldn't be a lifeguard, if the head-bob is required. 😳
    But now that I know what that slow head-bobbing does for me, I'm going to try it in bed tonight. It might be the solution I'm looking for!

      Angles, dumbass. Imagine someone starting to drown on your far side of peripheral. Because your lazy ass won't even move your neck, you would just perceive that there's a person diving slowly.
      Also, your cone of vision stay the same no matter how far you move your eyeballs unless you move your neck.

      Apparently, it's to improve focus- if you're looking out the corner of your eye, it's harder to differentiate between someone splashing and someone drowning, so lifeguards are taught to move their head and focus on what they're looking at

    • @boblangford5514
      @boblangford5514 Před 5 měsíci

      It’s nonsense to force the poor lifeguards to bob their heads. It’s actually extremely distracting. Yes, you can scan just as easily by just moving your eyes, and turning your head when you need to. You can still scan your whole zone in 10 seconds without making ridiculous head movements.
