Summer Swimming Safety Quiz

Monday, 02 June 2014 | by Pat's Picks

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune offers a water safety quiz that dispels some common myths about drowning. You may be surprised to learn that two thirds of those who drown never had any intention of going into the water. Another myth concerns thrashing about in the water. In reality, once someone is actively drowning, they can’t call out for help or wave their arms as all their energy is devoted to trying to breathe and stay above the water.
