## Caption

Child drownings have increased in recent years, and doctors say drowning is often silent, making it difficult for even nearby adults to recognize. Experts say many people expect dramatic splashing or calls for help, but in reality, someone who is drowning is often focused only on trying to breathe.

Water safety experts encourage families to stay within arm's reach of young children, designate a dedicated "water watcher," and use life jackets whenever appropriate. Knowing what drowning really looks like could help save a life.
