Drowning can happen to anyone, even skilled swimmers can drown. If not given timely first aid and proper treatment, the mortality rate is very high. So what is the correct way to give first aid to drowning?

Drowning is a form of suffocation, caused by water being inhaled into the lungs, or by airway obstruction due to laryngospasm while the victim is in water.
