According to the CDC, in 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child do it, having no idea it is happening. Drowning does not look like drowningāDr. Pia, in an article in the Coast Guardās On Scene magazine, described the Instinctive Drowning Response like this:
āExcept in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is the secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.
Drowning peopleās mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning peopleās mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.
Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the waterās surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.
Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.
From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response peopleās bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs.ā
This doesnāt mean that a person that is yelling for help and thrashing isnāt in real troubleāthey are experiencing aquatic distress. Not always present before the Instinctive Drowning Response, aquatic distress doesnāt last longābut unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, throw rings, etc.
Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:
Head low in the water, mouth at water level
Head tilted back with mouth open
Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus
Eyes closed
Hair over forehead or eyes
Not using legsāvertical
Hyperventilating or gasping
Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway
Trying to roll over on the back
Appear to be climbing an invisible ladder
So if a crew member falls overboard and everything looks OKādonāt be too sure. Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they donāt look like theyāre drowning. They may just look like they are treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure? Ask them, āAre you all right?ā If they can answer at allāthey probably are. If they return a blank stare, you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them. And parentsāchildren playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why.

BOOST FOR THE SUMMER. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
Can I just say thank you to OP for putting such a detailed description on this?
Iāve been a lifeguard for 6 years now and of all the saves Iāve done, maybe two or three had people drowning in the stereotypical thrashing style. And even those, like the save I made last weekend, it was exactly like OP describes where the personās head is going in and out of the water but it isnāt long enough to get any air. Mostly you recognize drowning by the look on someoneās face. If someone looks wide eyed and terrified or confused, chances are theyāre drowning. That look of āoh shitā is pretty easily recognizable. And even if you canāt tell for sure: GO AFTER THEM ANYWAY. Iāve done āsavesā where a kid was pretending to drown and I mistook it for real drowning, but thatās preferable to a kid ACTUALLY drowning.
Also please remember that even strong swimmers can drown if they have a medical emergency, get cramps, or get too tired. If your friend knows how to swim but theyāre acting funny get them to land. And even if someone can respond when you ask them if they need help, if they say they do need help? GO HELP THEM.
However . If the victim is a stranger, I canāt recommend trying to get them. Lifeguards literally train to escape āattacks,ā because people who are drowning can freak the fuck out and grab you and make YOU drown as well. If you do go in after someone, take hold of them from the back and talk to them the whole time. IF YOU ARE GRABBED: duck down into the water as low as you can get. The person is panicking and wonāt want to go under water and should release you. Shove up at their hands and push them away from you as you duck under. Donāt die trying to save someone else.
Please guys, read and memorize this post. Not all places have lifeguards. Being able to recognize drowning is such an important skill to have and you can save someoneās life.
Just incase!
In a water park once, I was suddenly grabbed by a child and he dragged me under the water without warning. I was going to get angry with him when I resurfaced because I thought he was being an ass, until I looked at him go back in and out hyperventilating the entire time. I grabbed him under his arms and began trying to drag him out while screaming for the lifeguard.
When the lifeguard got us both out, a woman came running down and accused me of harming him and said he had been completely fine in the water. That there was no reason to drag him out of there. The lifeguard had to explain to her that her son had been drowning, to which her response was to say that she didnāt hear him call for help.
People seriously need to learn the signs.

Wow. That video is⦠uh terrifying. But important.

The Cost of ADHD
Behind Closed Doors
I found out I have ADHD at 23, and suddenly my whole life made sense.
The gym isn't just training for me... it's where I put all that energy.
It's what keeps everything together.
Training has been my medicine my whole life... I just didn't know why back then.
If you get it, you get it.
i've been the girl who restricted everything, who thought being smaller would fix everything, who tied her worth to how little she could eat, and i've also been the girl who lost control, bingeing, feeling guilty, promising herself tomorrow i'll be better over and over again
it was never about food, it was about how i saw myself and healing that didn't happen overnight, it wasn't one plan or one diet, it was unlearning years of extremes learning how to eat without fear, without guilt, without rules controlling my life
i had to rebuild trust with myself, understand my body instead of fighting it, and realize that balance isn't weakness it's actually the hardest and strongest thing you can choose
that's why i became
the minute my distractions are gone iām in unbearable emotional pain and just instantly start crashing down:)
ā its feeling so intensely about everything to not feeling a damn thing at all as if your not really there? its finding genuine joy in self depreciating humor because you genuinely think this way about yourself, its burnt bridges and lost friends because you just cant be bothered to talk or fullfill your responsibilities and hating yourself for it afterwards (for me it takes a month or so before i realize i'm the asshole) its being so goddamn sad and guilty and weird and you don't know why so you just assume it must be because you suck ā
