A mum who effectively 'drowned' for 15 minutes during a swimming race is learning to communicate with her family by blinking.
Iwona Nowodworska, 44, was spotted floating face down at the end of the 475m course by a spectator, who dived in to pull her out of the water.
The mum-of-one had been in training for two years before she decided to take part in a race this June to prepare for her first triathlon.
