Excellent article about what a drowning victim actually looks like/experiences. My own experience as a lifeguard and training lifeguards bears this out.
Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning
Great article!! :applaud:
I was trained as a lifeguard in 1992, and I don't recall ever hearing about what a true drowning victim looks like.
I'm with Queen and I'd love to hear about current training on this subject if anyone has had recent lifeguard training.
I haven't had formal lifeguard training for some time but the YASA course at the Y (basically a course about how to help the lifeguard) mentions the difference between an active and a passive drowning victim and what to look for.
