Drowning is a potential danger in any swimming environment, especially when young or inexperienced swimmers are in the water. Usually drowning is silent, the individual will be vertical in the water with their mouth just under the surface of the water, arms and legs attempting to tread water in an attempt to access air. Most drowning incidents occur at parties, events, or crowded pools where lifeguards are not present. To minimize risk, one or more individuals can be designated as "Water Watchers."
