The first aid given to drowning people?

If you mean the breathing into the mouth, it is called 'mouth to mouth resuscitation', though it is often shortened to 'mouth to mouth'.

I don't think we have a special word for that. If someone is swimming and takes their head out of the water to breathe, we'd probably say 'take a breath'.

I usually continue breathing while I am bathing. It's a habit. :wink:
