I learned this in the Brownies and can't remember it. You had to push the person's back and then raise their elbows, thus pushing out the water from the lungs.

A some one who just finished an EMT-B class and a duel certified Lifeguard, I can tell you that in that situation the victim would be rolled over, assesed, and probably have CPR preformed on them if they needed it.

As far as I remember, it was a variation on the Heimlich Manoeuvre, but it's now no longer recommended for drowning: see http://www.daytondailynews.com/search/content/oh/index/living/health/heimlich/index.html

Are you referring to CPR (cardio-pulmonary resusitation)?
