While being common knowledge between people who work on water (life guards, maritime professionals, etc), this still might be quite a shock for all the rest – drowning doesn’t look like drowning<\/a>. \u00a0Most drownings you saw in movies and on TV are nothing like what a real thing is. \u00a0Here is a quote from the article that you should definitely read:<\/p>\n

Pia, Ph.D.,\u00a0 is what people do to avoid actual or perceived suffocation in the water.\u00a0 And it does not look like most people expect.\u00a0 There is very little splashing, no waving, and no yelling or calls for help of any kind.\u00a0 To get an idea of just how quiet and undramatic from the surface drowning can be, consider this:\u00a0 It is the number two cause of accidental death in children, age 15 and under (just behind vehicle accidents) \u2013 of the approximately\u00a0750 children\u00a0who will drown next year, about\u00a0375 of them\u00a0will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult.\u00a0\u00a0In ten percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch them do it, having no idea it is happening.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
