CPR Saves Lives — Why Everyone Should Learn It

Drowning emergencies can occur quickly and without warning. In situations like this, a person’s survival often depends on how fast CPR is performed before paramedics arrive. Immediate bystander CPR can maintain oxygen flow to the brain and vital organs, dramatically improving survival outcomes.

This incident highlights why CPR training is essential not only for lifeguards and health professionals, but for anyone living or working near pools, gyms, fitness facilities, or high-rise buildings.
