After you find a victim who is unresponsive, not breathing, and has no pulse as a result of a drowning, you should do what?

push firmly downwards in the middle of their chest at a regular rate. Ideally, you should alternate two rescue breaths with 30 chest compressions for anyone who has been rescued from drowning. This will help build up a supply of oxygen in their blood.

Does a person require CPR if they are unresponsive but is breathing adequately?
You would only administer CPR if the person does not have a pulse or (at a slightly lower place on the chest) if you knew/believed the person was choking. Otherwise, if the person has a pulse but is not breathing, you should administer rescue breaths.
How do you check for breathing in unresponsive victim?
if you cant see their chest moving, you should put your cheek next to their mouth/nose and see if you can feel any breath. if you don't feel anything, call 911.A little more...You can and should ALSO listen and feel for breath sounds or breath itself. If you're reasonably certain the victim isn't breathing, call for help and commence rescue breathing.
Who has to start CPR?
If you are CPR certified, you should have someone call 911 while you start CPR. If you are not CPR certified, find someone around you that is.

When would you start chest compression's in an unresponsive victim?
That depends...if you happen upon an unresponsive victim, you need to check to see if they are breathing and if they have a pulse first. Look, listen, and feel for 10-15 seconds. If they are pulseless and apneic (not breathing) you should perform chest compressions and rescue breathing immediately, at a ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths, @ 100 compressions/minute. If they do have a pulse, but are apneic, perform rescue breathing only, @ 1 breath every 5 seconds. If you are alone and happen upon an "un-witnessed" collapse and you don't know how long they've been down, do CPR for 2 minutes, and then try to go for help. If the collapse is "witnessed", call for help first, then begin CPR. Source: Emergency Medical Technician

What to do if a child is drowning and you do know CPR?
There is some controversy. Some say five thrusts of the Heimlich maneuver should be performed if the person has been underwater and the person is unconscious followed by CPR if there is no pulse/breathing. Others say that if no pulse/breathing is present, CPR should be started immediately without any thrusts of the Heimlich. Check with local authorities to find out what is routinely done in your area.
