Her coach, Andrea Fuentes, has multiple Olympic swimming medals and is Spain's most decorated female Olympian in any sport. She also won 16 World Championship medals and 11 European Championship medals. Outstanding credentials!! So she is a coach who has actually been there, done that, won lots and KNOWS swimming better than average lifeguards and ordinary humans.
Basically, if sea-dwelling aliens invaded earth, and we needed elite human swimmers to go fight them, then Andrea Fuentes would definitely make the list.
Same here. I always thought, whoever's gets picked as a lifeguard for the Olympics has gotten free front row seats to the event. Like your guarding PROFESSIONAL swimmers lives, they're pretty much set to do nothing. + idk if the get paid but itll be worth too
True, I do artistic skating and my coach keeps joking about stealing me from my mum. 😱😰😂 she gives me a certain look whenever something is off with me, like when I’m stretching out a sore leg due to over stretching or building muscles or if I’m just not feeling good, she looks at me like “😑I see you, take it easy” A lot of coaches are just stupidly amazing people.
Geez that is scary 😟 When you see how her body sank so quickly, that whole event could have ended so tragically. I hope she’s okay and that is truely one dedicated, switched on & caring coach.
@Summer breeze oh wow yeah I have to agree. A duty of care to ensure the swimmer is well enough to compete further. It’s common for élite athletes to push their bodies to the peak. Sometimes it’s important that someone steps in and creates rules that force them to rest after an incident.
As a lifeguard, that gotta hurt. Knowing you were trained to do something that when the time comes you would be prepared. Good thing the coach read the scene in a quick matter and without hesitation jumped in to save someone’s life. Respect to the coach, things like this happens regardless of the setting.
Screw lifeguards. We informed them two minutes after my 3-year-old sister went missing. They replied "in that crowd there is no use in making an announcement over the speakers no one would understand a word anyway" and kept drinking coffee and smalltalk. Leaving us searching. She was found 15 minutes later by a swimmer...drowned.
@@naekki18schlumpf WOW!!! I lifeguarded for five years and saved countless lives. To think someone didn’t take you seriously is disheartening and I truly apologize for such negligence. 😞
I'm so glad that the coach was there! Somthing similar happend when I was about 9 in swimming class. I couldn't swim and I told that to the teacher but he made me dive into the deep end anyway. I almost drown to death but thankfully the swimming assistant saw me and saved my life. I'll never forget Mrs. Graciella. Women like her and this coach are true heroes.🙏💖
Well maybe you should have learnt to float first, this what we were taught, now at 50 I can float in ball like position or even rolling surf I am unsinkable.
And this is not the first time she has fainted, she also fainted during an qualifying competition for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games in Barcelona, Spain.
@@sleeping7003 I'm saying this is not the first time that she has fainted and even her mother mentioned that she fainted before but never during a competition.

@@joys8634 yea exactly, people are getting mad at the lifeguard but the coach would be the first to know something is wrong since she made the routine.
When I was a kid we went to a rock quarry that had filled up by a natural spring. It was a beautiful spot. Many kids went there to jump off the cliffs and go swimming. We were there one day and one of our friends fainted and fell off the cliff into the water and disappeared. We were dumbfounded and hesitated to do anything. Thankfully a man from out of nowhere jumped in and pulled him out but it seamed to take a couple minutes. The man who saved him disappeared and no one knew him or ever saw him before. Our friend would have surely died but this angel saved his life. It was a surreal moment and I'm thankful for that angel.
I used to think people can't spell or use correct grammar. But one day I noticed that Google's voice recognition doesn't do a very good job. I'm constantly proofreading everything I dictate in my comments, and correcting Google's errors.
Plus she is a coach of a water based sport so will be extremely.comfortable in that environment on a daily basis. This is her bread and butter and it was obvious when she took action. Great stuff
my swimming form looks like controlled drowning using way too much energy of which is no good in the water. now I won’t drown because I know how to float for hours at a time but yeah correct form swimming is an amazing athletic endeavor my opinion
@@huh7270 safe and effective. I have had 4 vaccines, got covid 19 times and I got mild myocarditis after my booster. It would have been so much worse if I wasn't vaccinated.
I definitely thought the same thing ..the picture captures every emotion, fear, strength, devotion, DETERMINATION, awareness, hope , and feeling glad it is a safe outcome . And that COACH LOOKS FIERCE, !!
Years ago I was in a fitness swimming class in college and while doing laps in the number one lane (the faster, stronger swimmers) I noted through the strokes and bubbles of quick freestyle laps, a companion lap swimmer’s prone body at the bottom of the deep end (diving depth) directly beneath while completing a flip turn. I shouted at the lifeguard/coach and immediately swam to the bottom to grab the large man. Unfortunately, because it was in the middle of a strenuous workout, I ran out of breath halfway up and had to hand him off to the coach who finally dove in. Even just floating in water, moving that much mass takes some effort. We got him up and his face was blue but with resuscitation efforts we got him coughing and spitting up water and eventually fully conscious and breathing. He went off into an ambulance and made a full recovery, but man, it was a scary and jarring experience in the middle of what was otherwise a routine workout. I do rough water swimming in the ocean today and am often alone but it is dangerous to swim alone even if fit and healthy. Glad this was also a good outcome.
Oh what a STORY!! GLAD person recovered due to YOUR QUIK thinking & others efforts....... PLEASE do NOT SWIM ALONE / or at least w/o life jacket in OCEAN...no matter HOW GOOD ASWIMMER YOU ARE PLEASE!!!!🙏🙏🌺💚😨😨😨
apparently fainting underwater is common practice with these dum dum's, so jumping is and "saving" them for the lifeguards is pretty common... they get no shine. This particular dum dum fainted not too long ago at another competition.
As an ICU nurse, I’m still concerned hearing that she’s “still recovering” at the hospital. Usually, if I don’t hear “she’s alive and well,” then technically my brain assumes she could (at worst) be intubated in the ICU. This is because every second counts for the brain, and if she was anoxic for long enough she could still have lifelong debilitation.
I was thinking why haven’t we heard from her or her family…as a fellow ICU nurse my ears perked up when I heard “still recovering” also. We both know that miracles do happen and I pray she receives one.🙏🙏🏽
As I recall from my first aid :) class, it takes 4 to 6 minutes for brain cells to start dying, and she was under water definitely for less than a minute from what it appears. She's probably recovering in the hospital from whatever caused her to faint to begin with.
God what an amazing Angel I mean Coach to have by your side. These photos although a tragic situation was happening are touching. Phenomenal job Coach and I’m wishing a speedy recovery for the swimmer ❤️
@@maxbrinker9333 Could be caused by a sudden rush of cortisol & adrenaline in her system due to intense stress & nervous tension she's experiencing at that moment of her routine in the water. Or lack of nutrition... I've heard some swimmers live on liquid yoghurts during competitions.
@@maxbrinker9333 Nervousness overloads some younger swimmers and makes them panic. Most of the time people faint due to heat exhaustion, but in this case (as I have been inside one of these facilities and I can say that they get pretty warm) I think it’s just over nervous and adrenaline. No doubt her coach knew something was probably wrong before her routine because she knows her routine.
Wow! Just read that this isn’t the first time coach Fuentes saved Anita Alvarez. Same incident happened last year. That girl is blessed to have coach Fuentes in her life 😇 Glad she’s recovering!
Its first up in the life saving business. Lifeguard wasn't far behind. Coach would've been much closer and more attuned to the habits of her swimmers. Good job by all involved.
@@jokubass4718 The young athlete passed out in the water, and sank to the bottom of the pool. Her coach saw danger and dove in to rescue her and brought her to the top, where she was pulled out of the pool and rescued
Unpopular opinion, but she needs to give this up for own safety and safety of others risking their life to save her. This was not her first time having to be rescued. She’s has accomplished so much in the swim world and already proved herself to be one of the best at her craft. Prayers to this young lady to heal.
I think it took the lifeguards longer to realize there was a problem because the coach would be so focused on the swimmer and would know instantly when something wasn't right.
THIS is exactly correct and also likely the lifeguard had predisposed thinking, believing there was no way a professional swimmer could be in trouble. 99 of 100 lifeguards in this situation would have acted identical to this lifeguard.
@@jonathanmayberrydesigns- "99 of 100"? A swimmer motionless at the bottom of the pool should have been a hint to the useless lifeguard that something was wrong.
This was poor reporting. The man in the picture isn’t a lifeguard-He was another competitor that jumped in to help… Also, this was a SOLO routine and she was under for about 2 min.
I’m sure the coach had her eyes on her athlete the whole time while the lifeguards were scanning the entire field hence the quick reaction by the coach. Good job coach!
Everyone shouldn't be so quick to blame the life guard for delayed reaction. The coach had more information on her athlete. She knows the routine, and also had to save her last year. Armed with this additional information she is able to respond quicker to help save her athlete.
@@zanetapenny8388 I thought it was a synchronized swimming routine. Synchronization requires more than one. If it's solo, is it called something different?
I had to save my son and after the experience I realized how slow time feels and how difficult it is to bring somebody else to the surface quickly. It's also not easy to hold somebody and tread water while keeping both your faces above water
I heard this is not her first time fainting like this which might be why her coach recognized what was happening before the life guard but, then again, fainting during a routine is actually not that uncommon especially for less experienced swimmers.
@@Baubau. the coach had already helped this swimmer during another competiton where she also fainted... its not the 1st time she faints during a routine... reason why the coach was quicker in jumping to the rescue.
The lifeguard didn’t react fast enough because she was using her cell phone. This is the second time that she didn’t react when an athlete fainted, last time was 6 months ago. She should be fired in my opinion.
I saw a day camp counselor have a bunch of small children get in the pool and tread water. One little boy was struggling, and she didn’t even notice and instruct him. She was busy texting. He gave up, got out of the pool, and went and stood next to her. No other counselor present. The camp was using the Ritz Carlton pool and tennis courts in Marina del Rey. $$$. I called the day camp and reported. I bet the parent expected top instruction.
Easy... that coach is " the most decorated swimmer in the history of the Spanish national team" ... I'm guessing that she didn't wait long and her swimming skills are almost certainly better than the life guard (s).
There was no lifeguard on duty, just a paycheck collector. I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror knowing someone did my job better than me that day. How embarrassing for lifeguards all over the world that actually take pride in protecting others. I wonder how many social media posts that lifeguard has made saying look at me, I’m a good person, I’m a lifeguard. Just for the image
If your using the word Paycheck collector for an employee that lets someone else do their job then that’s 80 person of the entire world of all employees in every job even doctors and nurses
Man I can imagine; I lifeguarded at a hotel in my early teens and I've seen many times where another lifeguard was too slow it gets scary quick. Thankfully I didn't have big distances to swim but it was important to be there because I swear I jumped in to save grown adults and kids, at least like 60 times when I worked. Ellis training is better in my opinion.
Is this the first swimming athlete that has collapsed? Many other athletes have been collapsing on the field ever since they were required to get the jab in order to compete, but this is the first time it's happened in the pool! You would think the cold water would keep her from fainting. This is not normal.
The coach knew the routine so she knew something was off before the lifeguard..she saved her life 🙏🏽
I hope people take that into consideration before lynching the life guard.

This is the kind of news we should hear most of!
Good thinking and responding, Coach! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👍🏼
Wish her a speedy recovery. And to the coach .....u go girl. The world needs more ppl like u.
Hello Can we friends ??
WOW! Seriously… Hats off to you coach! Complacency in the workplace is starting to endanger lives everywhere… ( where were the lifeguard’s?)
I’m glad her coach acted quickly, I pray Anita has a full recovery. God bless her coach for her quick observation and response. She a lifesaver.
This has happened before with her that is why the coach was alert.
Thank God for that coach, she definitely saved her life ❤️💯💯💯
What a miraculous save for life. Her coach was her Angel.
I hope that this young lady makes a full recovery and soon 🙏🙏🙏
That coach is a hero. Plain and simple. So happy the young athlete survived this!
A Hero?? SURVIVED????
Survived what?
@@jokubass4718 The young athlete passed out in the water, and sank to the bottom of the pool. Her coach saw danger and dove in to rescue her and brought her to the top, where she was pulled out of the pool and rescued
@@PhilTParker I see nothing heroic here. And there is nothing to survive anyone would survive this incident especially professional swimmer
@@PhilTParker I dont understand why would you writte such comment
Unpopular opinion, but she needs to give this up for own safety and safety of others risking their life to save her. This was not her first time having to be rescued. She’s has accomplished so much in the swim world and already proved herself to be one of the best at her craft. Prayers to this young lady to heal.
Hero !! That’s all I thought about! An angel and a hero ! May God bless everyone . What a story !
Wish her a speedy recovery 🙏.
Way to go, Coach!!! You are awesome and God sent. I pray this beautiful and talented swimmer is all well!🙏🏼
You had one job !
I think it took the lifeguards longer to realize there was a problem because the coach would be so focused on the swimmer and would know instantly when something wasn't right.
THIS is exactly correct and also likely the lifeguard had predisposed thinking, believing there was no way a professional swimmer could be in trouble. 99 of 100 lifeguards in this situation would have acted identical to this lifeguard.
@@jonathanmayberrydesigns- "99 of 100"? A swimmer motionless at the bottom of the pool should have been a hint to the useless lifeguard that something was wrong.
This was poor reporting. The man in the picture isn’t a lifeguard-He was another competitor that jumped in to help… Also, this was a SOLO routine and she was under for about 2 min.
@@ronkostars4258 The coach would still know sooner. She also may have been much closer and laser-focused on her swimmer.
We need more positive news like this one. The coach is a hero
I’m sure the coach had her eyes on her athlete the whole time while the lifeguards were scanning the entire field hence the quick reaction by the coach. Good job coach!
Ok, that makes sense. The coach was focused one one; lifeguard was focused on several.
It was a solo routine. She was the only one in the pool.
Everyone shouldn't be so quick to blame the life guard for delayed reaction. The coach had more information on her athlete. She knows the routine, and also had to save her last year. Armed with this additional information she is able to respond quicker to help save her athlete.
The coach was probably fixated on her because she'd passed out in the water before. This was the 2nd time.
@@zanetapenny8388
I thought it was a synchronized swimming routine. Synchronization requires more than one.
If it's solo, is it called something different?
I am so glad the coach jumped into action and saved this young lady!!
THE COACH KNEW and was on alert because this has happened before with this swimmer during a previous competition.
I had to save my son and after the experience I realized how slow time feels and how difficult it is to bring somebody else to the surface quickly. It's also not easy to hold somebody and tread water while keeping both your faces above water
True hero..and that quick response 👏 I love it we need more like u coach. thankyou. 😊 🙏
This has happened before with her that is why the coach was alert.
Shout out coaches! They teach us many life lessons while also bettering us at something we love to do
Her very own angel, spiritual connection for LIFE🙏🏾🙏🏾♥️
That is a coach right there 👏👏👏
She really cares about her, thank God she is okay now
I heard this is not her first time fainting like this which might be why her coach recognized what was happening before the life guard but, then again, fainting during a routine is actually not that uncommon especially for less experienced swimmers.
I love this so much! When you work with people, you get to KNOW them, and when something’s off even if they don’t TELL you!
Shout out to the coach for acting quickly and being alert to knowing when something doesn’t feel right
This has happened before with her that is why the coach was alert.
And that's why she's a coach. She obviously knows what she's doing and can coach some of those life guards.
THE COACH KNEW and was on alert because this has happened before with this swimmer during a previous competition.
the coach knows the routine and would obviously know immediately if something’s wrong unlike the life guard.
@@Baubau. the coach had already helped this swimmer during another competiton where she also fainted... its not the 1st time she faints during a routine... reason why the coach was quicker in jumping to the rescue.
Her coach is a beast and is lucky to have her…🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😘🌹
Deathguard?😱
Lmao!🤣
It's not uncommon stupyd. Learn about the sport before you troll. Sport requires long periods of time holding breath under water.
Wow, it's weird how the swimmer lost consciousness and immediately just sank to the bottom.
Makes you wonder how long was she unconcious
@@Globeishoaxx facts!
@@mobius-1503 I can tell by your username you're an Ace Combat veteran, cheers!!!
@@Globeishoaxx Excellent take I'm seeing way to many athletes of high caliber dropping like flies.... This is NOT normal people!!
WOW! THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL 😳 GOD BLESS THE COACH AND THE SWIMMER ❤🙏🏿
Great Job Coach !!!
Lifeguard's job sole purpose in this event is to save lives and her coach is here doing their job!
She saved her life. She’s a hero
I've been seeing a lot of lifeguards on their phones in recent years. When I was guarding, I barely blinked for my watch.
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE!
When your coach has your back like that, you are blessed. So glad she’s alive and ok 😊
The lifeguard didn’t react fast enough because she was using her cell phone. This is the second time that she didn’t react when an athlete fainted, last time was 6 months ago. She should be fired in my opinion.
I saw a day camp counselor have a bunch of small children get in the pool and tread water. One little boy was struggling, and she didn’t even notice and instruct him. She was busy texting. He gave up, got out of the pool, and went and stood next to her. No other counselor present. The camp was using the Ritz Carlton pool and tennis courts in Marina del Rey. $$$. I called the day camp and reported. I bet the parent expected top instruction.
The still at 0:17 is amazing. Coach saving the day
Yes, powerful image. Superwoman, Coach Fuentes.
Even though she was out that was a beautiful and touching moment pictured
Sack that "Life Guard" Thank the Lord of heavens the Coach recognized the horrific scene and responded, bravo mam'.
@@fastwhirlwindstudio
Easy... that coach is " the most decorated swimmer in the history of the Spanish national team" ... I'm guessing that she didn't wait long and her swimming skills are almost certainly better than the life guard (s).
@@fastwhirlwindstudio The GOD of Israel, YHWH IS the Lord of the heavens which I'll see upon my passing to the Great Reward.
0:20 that's one iconic photo. someone should turn it into a renaissance painting. glad she's okay, though.
Those pictures gives me chills. That coach deserves a medal and a raise. Thank god she was there on the scene.
There was no lifeguard on duty, just a paycheck collector. I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror knowing someone did my job better than me that day. How embarrassing for lifeguards all over the world that actually take pride in protecting others. I wonder how many social media posts that lifeguard has made saying look at me, I’m a good person, I’m a lifeguard. Just for the image
If your using the word Paycheck collector for an employee that lets someone else do their job then that’s 80 person of the entire world of all employees in every job even doctors and nurses
I was once very numb but all of sudden just recently it seems like all of my emotions have cane back.. I feel for everyone and everything now..
These photos are powerful. Shout out to the coach for the quick thinking and action. I’m speechless.
Man I can imagine; I lifeguarded at a hotel in my early teens and I've seen many times where another lifeguard was too slow it gets scary quick. Thankfully I didn't have big distances to swim but it was important to be there because I swear I jumped in to save grown adults and kids, at least like 60 times when I worked. Ellis training is better in my opinion.
Is this the first swimming athlete that has collapsed? Many other athletes have been collapsing on the field ever since they were required to get the jab in order to compete, but this is the first time it's happened in the pool! You would think the cold water would keep her from fainting. This is not normal.
Do more research 1000s in the last year or so are falling out around the world with no coverage about it.
Now das one dedicated Coach! Much Respect!
For some reason there’s been a huge uptick in fainting 🤔
I bet you she took the 💉
That coach deserves a medal for her quick actions
Brought to you by Phizer!
ON GOD BRUH KKona Clap let em know cuh
good thing the coach knew how to swim.
Kek
How are you going to be a swim coach and not know how to
@@steph8016 right? 😂
That is a true hero, even more of a hero than a life guard.
We need more Latina super heros
