"There is very little splashing, no waving, and no yelling or calls
for help of any kind. To get an idea of just how quiet and undramatic
from the surface drowning can be, consider this: It is the No. 2 cause
of accidental death in children, ages 15 and under (just behind vehicle
accidents)-of the approximately 750 children who will drown next year,
about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult.
In some of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child
do it, having no idea it is happening. Drowning does not look like
drowning"
Please read this and learn the signs to watch for when someone is drowning .
It may save someone's life!
