Time Factors You can interrupt drowning at any time during the process between initial voluntary breath holding and death. The earlier you interrupt the process, the better the victim’s chances for survival without brain or organ damage. The length of time a victim was immersed or submerged is the most important predictor of survival. Unless the water is very cold (less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit, or 10 degrees Celsius), brain damage and death generally occur three to five minutes after the person starts drowning, although this varies from person to person.
