Did you know drowning is often silent, not loud?

Movies and television for years have misrepresented the process of drowning incorrectly. Most drowning victims cannot wave, yell, or splash for help because they are struggling just to breathe. Recognizing quiet signs of distress is critical for early intervention. https://ndpa.org/DrowningDoesntLookLikeDrowning/

Take Note, Stay Afloat! Water safety saves lives.
