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.

What a great rescue!

My mom saved 2 drowning kids once. I was looking right at them and had NO idea something was wrong.
