Can You Spot the Drowning Swimmer in this Photo?

Before you read on, try and see if you can spot the drowning swimmer in this photo. 

A video showing a child almost drowning has been posted on YouTube and highlights the dangers of unattended children even in a swimming pool packed full of people. It is thought the footage was filmed in the U.S.

About 10 seconds in to the video a young boy loses control of his rubber ring due to the force of a passing wave and he topples into the water. The boy immediately panics and can be seen struggling to get his head above the water. Fortunately a quick-thinking lifeguard spots the commotion and
blows her whistle before diving in the pool.

Using her lightening quick reflexes she manages to swim to the boy's aid within 10 seconds.
She quickly lifts the boy so his head and shoulders are out of the water and then she pats him on the back to ensure his lungs are clear.

Once the young boy has composed himself the lifeguard starts to swim over towards the side of the pool with the boy clinging on to a flotation device.
