    First thing you learn in swimming rescue.

    If you are trying to help a drowning victim and they grab on to you, push yourself deeper underwater. The victim will let go and keep trying to get to the air.

      In lifeguard training I was unironically told I might have to punch someone in the face to snap them out of it and ensure we don’t both drown lol
