A former navy SEAL named Clint Emerson, who served in the U.S. navy for 20 years has revealed the tricks to escape drowning even if your hands and feet are tied. He recommends taking deep inhaling breaths and exhaling quickly.
He advises people not to panic. 'Panicking, which can lead to hyperventilation, is the number-one enemy to survival,' he said.
In his book entitled "100 Deadly Skills: The Operative's Guide, Emerson shared numerous life-saving skills.
One of the methods which Emerson recommended is the 'sinking and bouncing approach.'
'In shallow waters, use a sinking and bouncing approach to travel toward shore, ricocheting off the seabed or lake floor up to the surface for an inhale,' he wrote.
'When facing down, whether floating in place or using a backward kicking motion to swim to shore, the operative should arch his back in order to raise his head above water.
'In rough seas, this may not give him enough clearance to get his head out of the water. Instead, a full body rotation will allow him to take a deep breath and then continue travelling forward.'
