But the best thing is to have someone on the side who pays attention. Only then should that person pay attention to the right thing. Because the stereotypical image of a drowning man, with a lot of waving of the arms and cries for help, is not very accurate according to Adams. “I’ve been doing it for a long time, but you won’t hear me say I recognize it.” According to him, someone who is drowning often moves very little. “If someone comes out of the water with two arms, he can tread water, and he won’t be in trouble.”
