you cant. when a person drowns to death the reason their is water in the lungs is becaus after so long of holding your breath you instinctivly gasp for air due to lack of oxygen to the brain and intake a bunch of water in the process which will make you choke and just suck up even more water untill eventually the lungs become waterlogged and are unable to send oxygen to the rest of the body(not that their was really any there for then to send, but its just the way the body works) when a person drowns their will also be water then the sinus as well which will carry it to the brain and can drown the brain cutting off activity. hope this helps :)
