Drowning isn't always obvious. A swimmer in trouble usually can't call for help because they're focused on keeping their head above water and breathing.

If you notice these warning signs:

• Alert a lifeguard immediately, if one is present.
• Call 911 or ask someone nearby to call.
• Reach or throw a flotation device to help the person get to safety.
• Begin CPR if needed.
