What does drowning look like?

Whenever we think of someone drowning, we all think of the typical girl, screaming "help! I can't swim!" bobbing up and down, but what many do not realize is that drowning is the complete opposite. When drowning, many (both children and adults), go into a panic mode. During the panic mode, ones only goal is to stay above the water, no matter the cost. When drowning, many do not think about calling for help; the only goal is to gasp for air. I highly encourage my readers to watch the video below to see a real pool save to get an idea what a true drowning victim looks like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0KTqPloUiU

Did you see the girl flip out of her tube? Did you notice how she did not scream, but instead began flailing, trying to gasp for air? This, is what a true drowning looks like.
