Drowning is the third leading cause of death, and not just involving children. No matter how well someone can swim, they can still drown. Drowning is silent. A person will not be thrashing around, and calling for help. They may look like they are just bobbing in the water. Quick action is needed to save a life. Even when a person is taken out of the water, and is breathing, they should be checked by a physician, to prevent secondary drowning which can occur hours or days later. Children should always have an adult present whenever they are near water, including the bathtub.
