I know in the "old days" we had to learn the cross-chest carry and we had very active volunteer "victim's" in the training courses. But these days don't they teach them methods that almost have no physical contact with an active victim? For instance, they carry those red rectangular buoys to use for the rescue (e.g. you extend the buoy to the "active" victim and the victim grabs it and then you tow them to safety without risk of the victim jumping on top of you).

Interesting! I wonder what her thoughts on her/baby safety are?

In this legal adverse world, it does seem unusual to have a pregnant lifeguard. Still, an incident strong enough to affect the fetus would seem to be extremely rare. At least she will not get pregnant during the encounter:)
