Drowning is quiet (Infographic)

Infographic: Drowning is quiet. It rarely looks like the movies, so watch, don’t just listen. A drowning person usually can’t call out or wave for help. Their body stays upright and their mouth bobs at the surface. They may struggle for only 20 to 60 seconds before going under. Children often slip under silently.
