There have been two Lake Michigan drownings in Southwest Michigan just this week, and Dave Benjamin, with the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project, tells us that it is important for everyone to know how to spot a troubled swimmer. He says that there's the Hollywood version of drowning, and then the actual way it goes:
He says that when you go to the beach, you should keep your eyes pealed for anyone who might be struggling, and if you see one, tell someone else before jumping in after them. Benjamin tells us that drownings in the Great Lakes this year are over two times higher than they were last year, probably because the weather's been hot and people started going to the beach earlier.
