Why would you be enraged about that. Coming from a REAL lifeguard (ocean rescue) of 4 years, I can tell you that yes, it can happen. That quick. All it takes is one or two bug gulps of water instead of air for you to stop breathing. Especially if this guy was on the other side of the pool.
The fact of the matter is, you don't know all the details surrounding this story. What we do know, though, is that he did in fact save her life, and that makes him a hero in my book. Come back to me when you have to swim 200 yards out then swim back in with a rip current blocking your way all while carrying a 200lb person.
