What does drowning look like? 

Most drowning victims do not yell or splash. In fact, drowning is usually fast and silent. 

Signs to look out for:

  • They are vertical in the water.
  • Their head is low in the water.
  • They seem to be climbing an invisible ladder.

If you see someone drowning, alert a lifeguard. If there isn’t one, help the individual without putting yourself in danger.
