Drowning looks nothing like in the movies

Someone who is drowning doesn't wave their arms or scream, as you can easily believe. Drowning happens quietly and almost completely still, and it can take a few seconds. Therefore, it is important to see the signs in time.

- Face facing the beach
- Head tilted back with mouth open
- The mouth at the water surface
- Closed eyes or glassy look, hair in front of face and eyes

If you think someone is drowning, always call 112 and call for attention from others on the beach.
