A professional swimmer spits water out after surfacing while grabbing the hand of someone helping him back to land.
The swimmer almost drowned after being sucked under a fast current.
Not all swimmers are professional swimmers.  Spiting water out after surfacing does not necessarily mean they almost drowned.  A swimmer can seek assistance to get back onto land, but it does not necessarily mean that a fast current caused the issue.
Just because a professional swimmer spits water out after surfacing while grabbing the hand of someone helping him back to land, doesn't mean he almost drowned
Spitting water out after surfacing doesn't imply being drowned.
