What should you do if you fall into cold water while boating?

Swim to shore immediately
Remove clothing to reduce weight
Try to re-enter your boat
Float and wait for rescue

The correct answer is: Try to re-enter your boat

While removing clothing to reduce weight might seem like a logical option, it is actually not recommended as it can leave you more vulnerable to hypothermia. Swimming to shore immediately may also be dangerous, especially in cold water, and can exhaust you quickly. Floating and waiting for rescue is the best option as it conserves your energy and gives you a better chance of survival. Trying to re-enter your boat is also a good option, as it can provide some protection from the cold water and make it easier for rescuers to find and help you.
