- 1 Different swimming strokes challenge different muscles within the body so you can choose where you tone up. 2  The pressure of water causes a shift of blood volume from the periphery of the body to the thorax. 3  This increases venal pressure and so leads to a decrease in heart rate of up to 20bpm lower in water than on land. Swimming can support up to 90% of the body’s weight in the water, meaning that those with disabilities, injuries or illnesses such as arthritis can take part in a comfortable and safe environment.

Water is then poured into the upper airways, triggering the dive and gag reflexes and the sensation of drowning, resulting in severe pain, dry drowning, lung damage, and hypoxic brain damage.aterboarding consists of immobilising a supine victim on his or her back with the head lower than the feet.

If human lungs fill with water (drown) and then expels/pumps out the water, what happens to the organ and the body? This happens much quicker than most other physiological responses to water in the lungs. Amazingly, when water first hits the lungs, the larynx goes into spasm, and during the first phases of a person drowning, most of the water goes into the stomach.

During near-drowning, oxygen intake decreases and major body systems shut down from the lack of oxygen flow. In some cases (particularly in young children), this can happen in a matter of seconds.
