Drowning doesn't look like drowning

I guess it does look like drowning...because it is. What I mean is that is doesn't look like you might expect it to look. Listen to this... "of the approximately 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult. In ten percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch them do it, having no idea it is happening" (article).

Here is a great article about what to actually look for and be aware of around the water: http://mariovittone.com/2010/05/154/
