Excellent article about what a drowning victim actually looks like/experiences. My own experience as a lifeguard and training lifeguards bears this out.

What a great article! That is information everyone should know.
It's really interesting when you train new guards, their first few weeks on deck they are hyper aware... but they don't know what they're looking at. More than a few times I've had to shove a new guard into the water to go get a kid, they just couldn't see that the child was in trouble.
