Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning by Mario Vittone
Oh wow… interesting and informative reading!
Annie, I found it very informative too, I had no idea that a person drowning could look like that.
Especially with families making trips up to their cottages on weekends now, this is a highly valuable bit of information to read. Thanks for the heads up!
Aeryn, How true, I was so surprised when I read this, I thought I knew what to look for!
Wow! Thanks so much for posting this! This is something everyone should read.
Christine, I hope many, many people do read it, the information is so important!
That is a great public service post. Thank you!
Paula

Monica, thanks for reposting this article as I learned a lot from it the first time, and was amazed at how much I had forgotten when I reread it now!! Kudos to M.Vittone for his post!

Shirley, it’s very scary, at least now we know what to look for.
This is so interesting and having kids or being around a lot of them during the summer, THIS is definitely helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Nancy, I always felt I was fairly knowledgeable until I read this article and realized everything I thought I knew and was watching for didn’t even apply…very scary and eye opening!!
Really interesting article..I love reading it…thanks
I found it was scary to realize how little I really knew…I always thought I knew what to watch for!
This is scary. Although I realized that drowning people can’t yell I still somehow thought they’d be able to attract more attention. Thanks for this article
Jo-Ann, I know what you’re feeling I felt the same shock when i first read this article!@
