Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

The drowning thing is spot on. Been there, done that, and I can swim just fine. Only way I'm alive is by chilling out, getting my lips above water and sipping air. Once I had enough to float, I floated.
Watch some videos of people going down. They exhibit very similar behaviors. If you're a parent, this is required watching.

Plenty more out there, but what is described is exactly how I went down. And I was 20-yards from a certified life guard in an old cow pond.
Years ago I was take away by the sea and couldn't swim back. I remembered that people usually panicked and drawn for exhausting so I stopped swimming and just move my arms and scream for help. When I saw people standing up I stopped screaming and just moved my arms. Then a surfer rushed up with the board and help me go back to the beach.
