Saw that some time ago and by coincidence I had a girl almost drowing in a pool a couple month later. Was too far to help but managed to draw a lifeguard attention to her (it was one of those wery crowded wavey pools).

That gamified training website should be spread to everyone and possibly even part of some high school collateral.

That link really stressed me out.

No kidding. The longer I took the more I felt like someone was actually going to drown. I eventually clicked the right kid after like 20 seconds, but I wasn't even positive when I clicked.

There was another that came to mind that I couldn't find which was a full screen drowning simulator. That was incredibly stressful.

Edit: I think this was it (can't verify) : http://sortieenmer.com/?lang=en

Interesting, just reading about it, or seeing the videos, make me fell uncomfortable. Guess that must be some research about this "empathy" somewhere.

It felt like the lifeguard was weirdly too quick, like she was already on the lookout for that kid. As soon as the kid flipped over at :12 she started moving and she jumped in 3 seconds later.
