Children may survive drowning due to several factors, including their instinctive ability to hold their breath and their smaller body size, which can allow them to float or stay submerged longer without air. The "diving reflex," which triggers a reduced heart rate and blood flow to non-essential organs while submerged, can also help preserve oxygen. Additionally, prompt rescue and resuscitation efforts significantly increase the chances of survival, as timely intervention can prevent severe brain damage and other complications.
