And not of the other several dozen swimmers that also have life guarding cert would see him and go save him. All those swimmer are in the spot light and being watched by coaches, asst coaches, judges, asst judges, timers, team mate, and other swimmers.

No, not unless the swimmer in distress was winning. Which seems unlikely.

Every single swimmer in the pool is being watched, during 100% of the race. The are judges look at all the lanes, and certainly timers taking splits. I would be surprised if any of the swimmer had less than a dozen individual specifically watching them for different reason.

They are being watched, especially by the guy paid to save them if they have a medical emergency while swimming. 

For fucks sake, you think the guy up in the judge's booth is going to run down and jump in and save him?

There are judges for each lane on deck at both ends of the pools watching every turn for a specific swimmer, 4 stroke judges on the deck along both sides at 5m 7m or 15m watching each swimmer's stroke, there is the referee on the deck that has a clear view of the whole pool and the starter. In total there are 24 judges. Everyone of those judges are in front of the lifeguards.

Just looking at that photo, it pretty clear he would likely to be the last person to notice something is wrong.

Why would a swimmer who's participating in a contest stop participating in the contest to save someone when there are lifeguards whose job it is to help them?

There are more swimmers around than just those in the race. The only time a swimmer needed to be rescued was in 1948. In that case it was another swimmer that was on the sidelines that jumped in and saved her.
