This get re-published every summer for good reason. Drowning happens frequently and it's theoretically preventable if people knew what to look for.

Also, be careful if you have to save a drowning person. The drowning response will cause them to instinctively push you under in an effort to get above water, so make sure you have your own floatation device so they don't end up drowning you.

IIRC, half of the year's drowning deaths in Finland I occur during the solstice, which is happening this very instant.
