When rescuing Miguel from the pool, Ernesto pushes his guitar out of the way before dragging him to the surface, showing he's trying to protect his reputation. In fact, we see later in the movie, namely when he's tossed into the cenote, that a guitar-deprived Miguel is a perfectly capable swimmer. The foreshadowing part of the scene is that no one tries to get the guitar back to the surface so Miguel may keep playing aka stealing the spotlight from Ernesto de la Cruz.
