Well... as far as biology goes... no.  They don't need air... just oxygen.\n\nIf our bodies were capable of breathing in water to extract oxygen we'd do it... unfortunately, we cannot handle liquid in our lungs, hence the drowning bit.  We do get better gas transfer from water... however our bodies cannot generate the force to expell the liquid under normal breathing conditions.

Get trained. You need strong swimming skills and good technique or you are risking your  life as well. Try the Red Cross, or a similar organization. Since I don't know where you live I can't make any other suggestions for training.\nAlways supervise children and pets around the pool. Even a short distraction can be fatal.

Your skin gets water logged...too much water and it starts to swell and bloat and wrinkle. Can you imagine what a drowning victim looks like?  Ewwwwww

Back up for life, If you dont mean bringing some one back to life the answer is NO but,\n\nour body or any other living organism will have life support tools that backup and try to prevent massive disaster to life.\n\none such example is your immune system.\n\nand there is a backup mechanism for the heart in case of blocks Heart tries to by pass the blood flow so as to minimise the risk. and only when it is beyond control one gets a cardiac arrest.

Your main concern is sun exposure, aside from drowning, that is. Use a pediatric approved sunblock and use a floatation device, since the little one will be slippery!\n\nAge is irrelevent.

You can try to sue for wrongful death, but there's no guarantee you will win.\n\nIn certain circumstances, police are authorized to pursue suspects across state lines.

you could breathe through a tube down as deep as perhaps one atmosphere.  beyond that the surrounding water pressure on your chest would prohibit you from taking a breath from surface air.

An attorney can do this properly for you and not really all that expensive. I would like to add that as a paramedic I often see people with living wills that end up being disappointed in an emergency. If you have a living will and you have a medical emergency treatment will still be provided to you. In very simple terms you should think of it as a "wish", it it what you wish or hope your family members will do in the event you are unable to make such a decision for yourself. For emergency purposes if you do not wish to be resuscitated with CPR, intubation and "heroic measures" you will need a DNR or Do Not Resuscitate order which is a legal directive. It is really best to have both. An attorney can help you with the living will and your physician can fill out the DNR which by the way needs to be updated yearly to be valid.

My guess:  This is most likely a case of homicide. Signs of drowning does not prove anything. The important clues is:\nThe subject was naked. Generally women always dress up before comitting suicide, to protect their modesty.

You would die from the drop in your sodium level before you could ever 'drown"  Its called watering posioning. I have included a link for you

If someone is hanging on you, go under water.  They'll let go, trust me.  Then swim behind them, put your arm around their chest, like in a half-nelson, and start swimming them in.  If you haven't been extensively trained in doing this, use some kind of equipment or get help.

??? i think it would vary depending upon how long someone can hold their breath, what type of situation it was...like, if someone were being violently drowned, they may suck in water making it quicker. same with drinking. being inebriated may decrease the time if the person was less in control of bodily function.... why are you asking.....

Yes.  Technically, you only need to suck water into your lungs to drown.  Since doing so usually causes death almost instantly, very few people survive the ordeal.  \n\nThat said, though, if someone is able to force the water out of your lungs and revive you, then you drowned and lived to talk about it.

You mean like in shock\n\nLie patient down, elevate feet, keep them warm, call 911.\n\nThey will need I.V. fluids as soon as possible, and there are certain medications they can recieve in the ER that will help, also.
