'I was scared, but I felt like I knew what to do.' 11-year-old Billie, who remembered our #FloatToLive advice during a life-threatening moment. Swept into deep water, Billie stayed calm and floated on her back - saving herself by staying in this position until help arrived 💙

2013, South Coast of India I saved a young man from drowning on this beach - the strength of the waves overwhelmed him & he couldn’t swim 🌊 I share this story, not for praise, to show how unpredictable the water is you wouldn’t know from this picture. #DrowningPrevention #WDPD
