What should you do if you fall into cold water in a small boat?

  1. Immediately swim to shore

  2. Try to pull yourself back into the boat

  3. Stay with the boat and signal for help

  4. Remove heavy clothing to swim easier

The correct answer is: Stay with the boat and signal for help

If you fall into cold water while in a small boat, it can be tempting to try and swim to shore. However, this can be dangerous as the cold water can quickly sap your energy and make it difficult to swim long distances. Similarly, removing heavy clothing may make it easier to swim, but it can also lead to hypothermia, which can be life-threatening. Trying to pull yourself back into the boat may also be difficult and can put you at risk of falling back into the water. The best option is to stay with the boat and signal for help. This will increase your chances of being rescued and keep you out of the freezing water as much as possible.
