Therefore it's unlikely that a seesaw action would move the blood at all, let alone enough to prevent brain hypoxia.

Doing a makeshift one ad hoc out of available materials (as described) sounds pretty sketchy, though. It would be a major skavenger hunt... Given a purposed-designed gizmo, I wonder how well it works compared to modern methods. Seems like having a dedicated contraption already in place at large swim areas wouldn’t be all that difficult.
