Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning also, sorry i have been a ghost. new job, upcoming new addition to family and travel have been killing me. I hope you are all doing well.
An interesting article. I have had one 'near-drowning experience' in my lfe, when I was about 12 years old. At a local lake, I went beyond the safety rope, and stepped into water over my head. I DID do the yell and arm-waving thing...... but the danged lifeguard was too busy ogling the bikini babes to notice...... I clearly remember - I got PO'd! This idiot wasn't doing his job, he was NOT going to come for me! I stopped struggling, got a breath of air and let myself sink to the bottom (not all that deep - just over my head) and I WALKED out. No muss, no fuss. I told that worthless lifeguard I nearly drowned and he didn't do his job. I was one very mad kid! [rofllmao] But I am alive today. Now much older and fatter, I couldn't sink if I wanted too - I bob like a cork.......
Great information to share. I almost lost a child to drowning. He was surrounded by a full baseball team's worth of parents. There were no signs of struggle. I'm not exactly sure how my arms managed to lengthen but they did, enabling me to reach in and pull him up and out of the water.
