[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 318158, member: 7544"] Unless you know how to rescue someone that is drowning, you should not approach them in the water. There is a very good chance that you will become a victim as well. You're much better off to throw a line or flotation item (doesn't have to be a life jacket) to them instead of swimming up to them. They will be in extreme panic mode and grasp and climb up on top of the first thing they can get a hold on. As a former navy rescue swimmer, I've had some experience with this, so believe me when I tell you that even though you may be a lot bigger or stronger than the victim, they can still put you in extreme danger of drowning yourself.
