Frantic splashing, cries for help, and exaggerated movements are not the true signs of drowning. Those are the exaggerated interpretations of actors dramatizing a scene for Hollywood.
The day the sun fails, is the day life will no longer be sustainable on earth. Since people count on it so much anyways, why not take a bit of that energy and turn it into clean, renewable energy?
For that reason, it's easy for a child to drown under the direct supervision of their parents. Mothers and fathers have watched their kids take their last breath without ever knowing their child was in trouble.
Inspect the health of your trees, grass, garden and anything else living you may have in your yard. Some lawns may need sod to cover dead spots.
"Move!" was the only command he gave as he shot through the water toward them. As they quickly moved out of his way, he darted past, closing in quickly on the nine year old daughter quietly drowning nearby.
Place the ends of the ladder on firm, flat land to give you a good foundation. If your ladder leans, make sure that you place the base of the ladder at an angle from the roof so you don't risk the ladder toppling backwards as you climb.
The parents hadn't seen the warning signs because they didn't know what to look for. If the captain hadn't acted when he did, they would have drowned for sure.
Have a helper on hand to steady the metal contraption while you climb. Once you reach the roof, attach loops to the ladder and connect them to a secured nail in a rafter.
It's a frightening idea for parents. Can you imagine having the opportunity to save a life, and yet miss it because of Hollywood's interpretation, especially when one parent's just by the pool and the other's fixing snow brackets on the roof?
Take each of these steps and spread them out over several weekends. Don't think that you have to run the whole marathon at once, especially with little to no training over the past 3 or 4 months.
First, the person is extremely quiet. Far from being able to cry out for help, the only energy they have is spent on breathing. Hence when the sounds stop, call out to them if they're okay. If they can't answer, help them.
They have experience and education on their side that will help them do it faster and more efficiently than you ever could. Next, wear sturdy shoes with soft rubber soles to give extra traction.
The rest of the body remains perpendicular to the water's surface. There is no flailing or thrashing, just slight movements to save a life.
Finally, if your roof is made of slate or tile, stay away. These can slip out while you're walking on them, not to mention that your presence can damage them if you're not careful.
So if you're by the pool, or even on the roof fixing snow brackets, listen for times of quiet. Those are the times you need to get down and call out to them. If you recognize these symptoms and they don't answer your calls, intervene. It could just save a life.
