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
My lifeguard and WSI training in 1970 taught us that all drowning victims could flail their arms, kick as well as polo players and would fight you as a rescuer. And it always happened in a freshwater lake. Drowning victims seem to have changed over the years.
