2. It’s not called drowning if a person doesn’t die from it, and so far B”H this person hasn’t, and Hashem should help that he won’t.
   Can you please stop using the word drowning in cases like these?

3. The World Health Organization in 2005 defined drowning as “the process of experiencing respiratory impairment from submersion/immersion in liquid.” This definition does not imply death or even the necessity for medical treatment after removing the cause, nor that any fluid enters the lungs.

4. I am not saying this was the case here at all. I am just using this tragedy/incident to remind people that the first rule of swimming safety is “Never Swim Alone” .
   Even if you know how to swim.
   Even in your own backyard.
   Somebody must be able to call for help if an accident happens.
   For those who foolishly ignore this basic rule, I pray that you will be protected.
