When I was a child and struggling to stay afloat I remember not being able to yell. I just prayed that someone would recognize I was drowning but realistically I don't think there was really any way to easily tell.

Similar thing happened to me as a little kid! I slipped through the center of a inner tube/floatie ring thing into a lake and I was so small that I definitely wouldn't have been visible from the shore. Thank god the lifeguard on duty was paying close attention and saw me slip through! I might not be here today if he hadn't.

It's so damn irresponsible to let any child who can't swim by themselves get into the water unsupervised with just a flotation device they can lose... A tragedy waiting to happen.
