It’s late afternoon at a quiet stretch of beach, and the ocean is rougher than usual. While swimming, you suddenly get caught in a powerful, deceptive rip current that pulls you under and far out into deep water. Watching from his lifeguard tower, Ian spots you struggling against the waves and dives into the ocean without hesitation.

After swimming through the heavy surf, he manages to grab you and pull you back to the shore. You’ve swallowed seawater and lost consciousness, forcing Ian to perform emergency CPR and mouth-to-mouth on the wet sand.
