Drowning, of course, is not exclusive to humans. Even a dog who is otherwise a strong swimmer can fall victim to a drowning attack. That’s exactly what happened on Monday morning this week, when a Husky and his family were visiting the Presque Isle Bay. Suddenly, tragedy struck and the dog began to struggle to stay above water. Although the owner did not notice right away, a group of fishermen did. The men immediately called 911 when they were unable to get out to help the dog in the water.

Teaching a child how to swim can make a world of difference. Not only will he/she be better prepared in the water, but they’ll also have fun, too! Although it may be a basic skill, knowing how to properly swim is something even some adults don’t know how to do… all because they haven’t taken the time to learn the proper techniques. To say the least, this can have some pretty serious consequences — for children or adults — when in any body of water.
Like many things, the younger you learn how ...

Founder of the nonprofit effort, Action to End Drowning, Arthur Benjamin, Palm Beach Philanthropist, shares 2 crucial definitions. Understanding these two issues of dry drowning and delayed drowning can make a world of difference in preventing drowning incidents.
What is Dry Drowning?
Dry drowning occurs when water never reaches the lungs, but is still breathed in. The water ends up trapped in the airways, causing the vocal cords to spasm and even potentially close. What’s important to know a...

Do you know this woman?
The above sketch is an artist’s take on what the drowning victim looked like. She is believed to be a Caucasian woman with red hair, in her early to mid 60s. She was discovered wearing multicolored leggings, a grey long-sleeve shirt with a Christmas theme and the following Mistletoad design:
If you have any insight or information on who this individual is, please contact the Henderson, Nevada Police Department ASAP.

The leading cause of preventable death in toddlers in the United States is drowning. Children ages 1 to 4 years old are the most at risk of drowning. But the keyword to keep in mind here is preventable. Drowning deaths — and even non-fatal drownings — can be prevented. That’s why Action to End Drowning encourages you to take the following tips in mind!
Never leave a child alone in or near water.
This goes for pools, bodies of water and even your bathtub. A good general rule of thumb is to alw...

In April 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared July 25th World Drowning Prevention Day. Hoping to raise critical awareness, this advocacy effort will shine a beacon of light on the silent problem of drowning. More importantly, World Drowning Day will be centered around how we can be better prepared for and potentially prevent a drowning accident.
WHO encourages the use of the hashtag #DrowningPrevention. But that’s not the only way World Drowning Prevention Day will do its part t...

Perhaps the best drowning prevention technique is simply to be prepared! Here are some signs you should look out for:
Sounds of gasping or hyperventilating
When someone is drowning, he/she may not be able to yell or scream out for help. So it’s important to pay attention if you think you hear someone struggling to breathe while out in the water.
Their head is low and tilted back in the water
In general, you should keep your eyes peeled for anything that looks out of the ordinary. You may even...

You could be in the ocean, enjoying some fun in the sun. Or at a public pool, surrounded by friends and family, living it up in the summer. You might even be at home in your very own bathtub when all of a sudden, you find yourself submerged underwater and gasping for air.
On average, a person can hold their breath for only 30 seconds. A highly trained scuba diver, swimmer or other underwater professional may even be able to hold their breath for a whole minute. Once you can no longer hold you...

First and foremost, drowning is a fast and silent killer. In the vast majority of drowning-related fatalities, no one even notices that a drowning death is impending. Taking as little as 20 to 60 seconds, a drowning attack comes without warning or signal — and fast!
Roughly 320,000 people die annually from drowning, worldwide
Males are at higher risk of drowning than females, by more than 50%
In the United States, an estimated average of 10 fatal drowning occur each day
Drowning is a leading ...
