Final answer:

Struggling individual in water with arms extended sideways and not moving forward is an active drowning person.


Explanation:

Active drowning person is the situation described by a vertical individual struggling to keep their face above water, with arms extended to the sides and making no progress. This behavior can be mistaken for calm safety measures prior to drowning due to a muscular spasm that seals the airway. The head is low in the water, tilted back with uncontrolled movements.
