Good reminder that drowning looks very different in real life than it does in the movies! It’s never splashing and gasping, always mouth level or just above water line, dipping under and coming back up, too tired to flail or yell for help.
💯 correct. Almost drowned myself at a company picnic. Long story short, I was tiptoeing towards the shore with my face barely sticking out of the water to breathe. I was so tired I couldn’t even yell for help. I flagged some kid to come help me. Craziest feeling I’ve ever had. I don’t wish that on anyone.

What a great rescue!
