Tread water and hitch a ride on a whale (if it doesn't try to eat you first)

You could also call forth the power of Jesus hidden away in all of us...and walk that damn water.

That will show it who's the boss.

Wouldn't that be resuscitation from death? So they would be dead unless someone resuscitated them if they drowned wouldn't they? So drowning does equal death.

No, drowning is like getting shot. It often RESULTS in death, but the death is a separate thing from the getting shot/drowning.

You simply do not have to have died to have drowned.

If no one's around and I drown for some reason, I'm probably already dead, and so I'm at a bit of a disadvantage if my goal is to save myself.

According to the dictionary, to drown means to "to die under water or other liquid of suffocation" when used as a verb, or "to kill by submerging under water or other liquid" when used as a verb with and object.

Yes, which means that you will die.

However, the person who I was quoting stated that if you drown, you are ALREADY dead. And that is incorrect, regardless of if there is anyone there to save you.

Drowning precedes death. Death does not precede drowning, and the two do not occur simultaneously. You drown, THEN you die. And if you are drowning, then you are NOT already dead, because dead people don't drown.

Then your dictionary sucks, and can go to hell. Because people HAVE drowned and lived to tell about it, and we still lack the ability to bring the dead back to life.

Sorry, but your dictionary is wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drowned

I would rather side with this definition.

"Drowningisdeathfrom suffocation (asphyxia) caused by a liquid entering the lungs and preventing the absorption of oxygen leading to cerebralhypoxiaandmyocardial infarction."

This is what I think you are talking about: "Near drowningis the survival of a drowning event involving unconsciousness or water inhalation and can lead to serious secondary complications, including death, after the event."
