I love going to different places for the dogs to have a swim, and during the summer so many of us will be heading to the lake, beach or river to cool off and have some fun. Just yesterday we saw on the news how a young girl had drowned at a busy leisure centre swimming pool, under the nose of two lifeguards, where in fact there should have been four, the leisure centre has to pay out a large sum of money for its incompetencies and ngligence, but that doesn't bring the little girl back! Today too on the TV news, we have all been warned not to swim in the reservoirs, but the temptation of the deep, cool water is just too hard to resist for some, and of course we also read each year of competent swimmers drowning after not heeding the warnings.
But, would you know if someone was drowning? If you thought you knew what someone looks like when they are drowning, take a look at this, it may not be what you thought!
