Don't ever jump in to save someone. Most times you will be taken down by the panicking person using you as their own personal flotation device. I taught scuba and we learned really quick how a panicking person can take down a great strong swimmer. Best to try and find something to throw to them or if you go in, bring something for them to hold onto by pushing it towards them. They really should have life saver rings posted around the lake.

He cramped up, panicked, then caught a second cramp in his right or left leg, really started to become overwhelmed by his own body weight, his heart now beating so fast that it finally gave up on him. All the while in a matter of seconds he took in so much water, lungs nearly full of water, only added more weight to his already heavy body. Being fully clothed and more than likely starving from malnutrition anyway didn't give him much of a fighting chance. And the use of chronic achohol and drugs didn't help either. RIP Old Friend

They would just grab onto you and you’ll end up drowning. If you can reach the person from behind, sure... but if they see you coming, you’ll have two victims. Most people are irrational because of fear when they’re drowning. They won’t know that they’re killing you in the process of trying to stay afloat.
