Wouldn’t they have to?  After all, if they didn’t all drown then they would loose points!

Yes it is true!  This is what one site had to say:\n\n"Synchronous menstruation has been observed among mothers, sisters, and daughters who live together, and sometimes among women who simply work together. Of seven female lifeguards who started out one summer with widely scattered periods. Three months later they were all menstruating within four days of one another.\n\nA study of 135 residents of a women's college dorm confirmed the effect. Most of the cycle shifting occurred within the first four months and was usually complete after seven months. Fortunately for the dorm's plumbing, the whole building didn't synchronize, just roommates and close friends. As often as not, the women were unaware of what had happened.  Later research has suggested that synchrony is caused by some sort of scent cue, or pheromone."

not necessarily means if someone get drown in an event like that the rest should follow... it is better for the rest to dive for thier drowned co-player and raised her up like a trophy then it would make sense...

They were drowned in an accident.\n\nhttp://www.allscifi.com/trivialist.asp?Answer=A&Filter=&Question=13231

A while ago when I was in school yet, our Sociology teacher posed a question( as many do) about a lifeboat with survivors on it; many on the boat were near death. One person was given the task of deciding how to ration water and food for all the survivors. This individual divided the rations amongst all of the survivors equally, even those who would perish anyway(human nature). However, by the end of this social experiment, I do recall... we all perished. There was not enough to ration out to all, so we ended up starved, dehydrated and then fish food.

ANSWER 1: When a person drowns, water takes the place of air in the lungs. The body becomes heavier and sinks. It stays there until enough gas builds up inside the body from bacterial decomposition to make it buoyant and free it from the suction that silt and mud creates on the river bed, so that it surfaces. \n\nHow long this takes depends on the depth and temperature of the water, the amount of sunlight the corpse receives, and whether it is lying under a ledge or a bridge. \n\nWhether the body is lying on the north or south side of a waterway can also affect the time it takes to rise, because heating of the water varies on each bank. \n\nObviously, the body can take longer to rise if it is underneath something like a tree, or is caught by an underwater obstruction. I once studied a body that had risen to the surface with part of a brick wall tied to it by ropes around the chest. There were five bricks covered with mortar on each side of the body and still it floated. \n\nWhat's more, if a body is trapped by, say, its leg, the gases will keep forming until it is buoyant enough to detach itself from the trapped leg and rise up. \n\nBodies can also be washed into the side of a river and remain undiscovered, below an overhanging tree, for example. \n\nDebris piles up on top of the body and silt accumulates. If the body lies out of the Sun's rays, which cause much more rapid decomposition, it can remain there until a flood washes away the silt and debris. \n\nOf course, if the water is cold enough, the dead body may be held in "deep freeze" and it might never rise._New Scientist \n\n\nANSWER 2: Dead bodies undergo a series of changes, biological, chemical and physical, which eventually return the body's components to the food chain. \n\nThese changes and the speed of decomposition depend on where the body is. Decomposition in air is roughly twice as fast as it is underwater and about four times as fast as underground. \n\nA living person has almost the same density as water: when you breath in, you float, and when you breath out, you sink. \n\nThis is why dead bodies sink initially. \n\nThen the changes begin, and one of the most important is the bacterial decomposition of sugars and proteins in the tissues, mainly coliforms, Clostridium, Psedomonas and Proteus species. \n\nThese are anaerobic bacteria that normally live inside the large intestine, though they may come from an infected wound, such as gangrene. \n\nAs they feed on the decaying flesh, the bacteria excrete gases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide which inflate some body parts, mainly the face, abdomen and male genitals. \n\nBodies usually stay underwater for between one and two weeks, although this varies widely and some bodies never come up at all. One of the factors which affects this is the temperature of the water. \n\nContrary to common belief, there is no significant difference between the time it takes for male and female corpses to resurface. There is one notable difference though: while most corpses rise with spine uppermost, women and obese persons may rise face-up. This is caused by gas forming in breasts and large abdomens.

Without a lifejacket, the boater will still most likely continue breathing, even if unconscience.  The body is trying to sink, but lungs filled with air will keep the body afloat.  If the person breathes in and his or her lungs fill with water, the person will definitely sink. However, after drowning, the gases in the blood stream accumulate, allowing the dead body to rise to the surface of the water.

After a typical syncopal (fainting) episode, one does not usually lose memory, except for during the time that one is unconscious.\n\nThe episode you described could have resulted from heat stroke, dehydration, hypoglycemia, or head injury from the slump/fall.\n\nIf she has ANY memory loss (other than while she was passed out), she needs to be evaluated ASAP.  Go to the ER or an urgent care facility.  Better safe than sorry.

No...They have a stand in swimmer.

Despite our ability to adapt to environmental conditions, there must certainly come a point where the surrounding pressure would overwhelm the solid portion of our structure--crush bones, break cellular walls, that sort of thing.  Deep sea divers can't go to the bottom of the deepest trenches.  I don't know whether they are crushed first, or some other gruesome death takes them first, but eventually I imagine whatever is left of them would be crushed.

I have nearly drowned twice, at first you control your panic, there was no time to get a breath,in moments it hurts because you are trying hard to keep the air you have there gripping life,your lungs want to expell it,your facial muscles cramp,lips burn,your mind races,your feet search out something anything solid.THEN you panic,your lungs lose and spent oxygen explodes from your lips.You take in water lots can't stop,a buzzing sound, you give up and take in more liquid death,unconsiousness blessedly over takes you,then suddenly your pulled from the cold nothingness and find you are ALIVE, thanks Dad!\n*That is what I remember

Which one would I save? I would save the one that was the closest to me IN THE WATER. Why? Well while you are going after the one that is the furtherest one way, they may drown before you can get to them, and then when you go and try to get the other one, they have drowned to as you didn't get to them fast enough. So by doing it this way you have lost both. When you could have saved at least the one closest to you in the water.

I have been on the swim team for a long time and im 3rd in the state at breast stroke, but i still know about freestyle. i usually dont think about how many strokes i take before a breathe. i think if u just do whatever feels comfortable you will have 1 less thing to think about so you go faster. When i first hit the water I'll usually take 4 or 5 strokes before i take a breathe cuz im so pumped up.
