Even when I was a lifeguard we were trained to never jump in and save someone in the water.

Yeah, Im conflicted. I completed life guard training in high school and that experience was difficult. One thing I remember from the drills was how hard it was to rescue someone, if you had to pull their weight in deep water. And thats in calm water, with a drill partner who is not panicking, and I was a fairly strong swimmer. People underestimate that a lot and sometimes end up drowning themselves, while trying to save someone.

Ideally, wed like to see the police try to save people in need, but I dont think they are actually trained to do that in the water.
