fear of NOT being submerged during a drowning attempt... attached rocks the solution?

[xXSufferingXx]

(hypothetically)
attaching heavy rocks to your neck during a drowning attempt seems to combat the fear of failing to be fully emerged, right?

 

[(UN)COMMON SENSE]

seems likely!

Depends on the depth too. Some guy killed a couple off California by tying them up and attaching an anchor and into the Pacific they went. If the water is deep enough and the weight attached secure enough your SI probably won't let you get out of it, not that you wouldn't be panicked in your last moments.

How else would you even do it without weights? I can swim very well, and I guess most adults can swim. But a weight that's about 20% of your body weight should do the trick. E.g. barbell plates, etc.
