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

Attempt to swim to shore immediately
Remove heavy clothing to reduce weight
Try to reboard your boat or find another floating object
Swim vigorously to generate body heat

The correct answer is: Try to reboard your boat or find another floating object

If you fall into cold water while boating, the best course of action is to try to reboard your boat or find another floating object (Choice C). This is the correct answer because attempting to swim to shore immediately (Choice A) can lead to exhaustion and increase the risk of hypothermia. Removing heavy clothing to reduce weight (Choice B) is not recommended as the clothing can provide insulation against the cold water. Swimming vigorously to generate body heat (Choice D) might actually cause faster heat loss through increased circulation of cold water around the body. Therefore, the safest option is to try to reboard your boat or find another floating object to help keep you afloat and wait for rescue.
