Isn't that better than... Like, drowning?

If float away you likely will drown. Your floater will slowly loose air, or you'll loose it, or the waves will be too high and engulf you in the wrong moments, or you loose consciousness and breathe water. My contention is you're less likely to drown without floating devices as you'll consciously try to stay in the shallow parts of the beach. Especially if you're someone who couldn't swim. I believe this is why we only ever took the floaties to the pool.

Yes and no. If you're found absolutely. If you're not it's a slow death of dehydration.
