LL,

During my 30 plus years as a Federal Park Ranger, I responded to many drowning reports of which I personally retrieved 25 persons from the bottom of lakes using drag hooks...it is a sobering experience. Especially when the victim is a child. Performing CPR on a child is emotional.

For over 10 years I went to schools every Spring to teach Water Safety to thousands of students, emphasizing the Instinctive Drowning Response and dispelling the myth of going under 3 times before drowning.

Thank you for posting the article,
Carl
