Reply to comment by goodluckmyway in TIL about Deaf lifeguard Leroy Colombo, who overcame childhood paralysis through swimming and saved a record-breaking 900+ lives during his career. His swimming talent and use of sight rather than sound to identify drowning swimmers allowed him to save people other lifeguards would have missed. by lemontreelemur

If he decides you're being rescued you're being rescued. Try telling him you're not drowning...

Joking aside, assuming not every rescue is a full-on life or death situation, over a few years I could imagine one or more per day is possible.
