- Abstract
The aim of this educational review article was to identify cases of Hollywood stars who have been involved in aquatics. A literature search was conducted using the terms drowning, Hollywood, actor, rescue, aquatics, swimming, and lifeguard. It was found that several Hollywood film stars (n = 33; males = 20, females = 13) have worked as lifeguards (n = 12), performed lifeguard rescues (n = 2) or lifesaving rescues (n = 4), were aquatics athletes (n = 6), or suffered drowning- related incidents (n = 9). A brief overview of those actors and their involvement in aquatics is presented.
