A video showing a child almost drowning has highlighted the dangers of unattended children even in a swimming pool packed full of people.

About 10 seconds in to the video a young boy loses control off his rubber ring due to the force of a passing wave and he topples into the water.

Fortunately a quick-thinking lifeguard spots the commotion and blows her whistle before diving in the pool.

According to water safety experts, almost half of children who drown die with 25 yards of a parent or other adult.
