Drowning doesn't look like drowning

I am not the strongest swimmer, and I can think of at least one time in my life when I thought I was drowning. This article describes it exactly. It's startling to think about what drowning looks like to those above water-- especially since the signs don't resemble in the least those that we've been trained to look out for by television and movies. Read the article here and have a safe summer!

  1. I read a similar article and I'm glad I did. The part that struck me the most is, when children are playing in the water they make noise--when they are quiet you better go find out why. Thanks for the reminder.
