NEVER try to save a drowning person without a lifejacket or ring. They'll push off of you to stay above water, and you'll just go back and forth drowning each other. One of the first things they teach you as a lifeguard.

If you don’t have a life jacket or floatation device like in this scene, what would have been the best thing the woman could have done to help? I guess some kind of long stick for the drowning person to grab?

Whip off your shirt, hold one end and try get them to grab the other to pull them to safety. Main thing is to avoid being grabbed so they dont pull you under. If you are grabbed, hold your breath and dunk under the water pulling them with you. Theyll likely release you, push away. Get to safety and re-assess.
