One scary drowning story is about a young boy who went swimming in a lake alone. He was not a very strong swimmer but was overconfident. As he swam further out, he suddenly got a cramp in his leg.

He drowned in that cold, dark water.

There was a story of a fisherman. His boat capsized in a storm. He wasn't a strong swimmer. As he drowned, he thought about his family waiting for him at home.

They had depended on his fishing income, and now they faced financial difficulties as well as emotional pain.

It shows how quickly things can go wrong even in a seemingly safe place like a pool.

One scary drowning story is about a young boy who went swimming alone in a lake. He got caught in an undertow. His screams were muffled as the water pulled him under.

A group of friends went to a secluded pond. One of them, a boy named Tom, was showing off his diving skills. But on one dive, he didn't come back up. His friends searched frantically.

They ran away in horror, leaving Tom to his watery grave.

One well - known drowning - related fiction story is 'The Old Man and the Sea' by Ernest Hemingway. In it, the old man endures a great struggle at sea which could be seen as a form of 'drowning' in his challenges. Another could be 'Jaws' to some extent, where the threat of being dragged underwater and drowned by the shark is a major part of the horror.
