I was surprised to learn that people who are drowning are actually very quiet, and don't wave their arms above water, according to this Medical News Today article, Do You Know What Drowning Looks Like?
Bottomline, when things get very quiet, you must be vigilant. People drowning aren't likely to be able to shout or wave for help.
Have fun this Summer, be safe, and be vigilant.
