"Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on."
The toddler in the following story was rescued in time.
At a park beach one summer, a toddler was crouched in shallow water at her father's feet as he chatted with his brother. She somehow lost her footing and fell face down into the water and couldn't get herself back up.
Luckily, a man walking close by snatched her out of the water almost immediately.
Her mother came running with a scream. The father was confused about what was happening. There had been no sound to alert him to look down. It happened so quickly.

It is so fast with children 😓
Yes. That one was shocking to me. I literally watched it happen. It was so fast that a bunch of us would've been too slow even though we jumped up to run over. There wasn't any time to yell at the father. No one would ever dream such a thing could happen in a depth of a few inches of water.
