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

  1. Remove heavy clothing to reduce weight

  2. Immediately swim to the nearest shore

  3. Attempt to reboard your boat, even if it is capsized

  4. Swim vigorously to generate body heat

The correct answer is: Attempt to reboard your boat, even if it is capsized

If you fall into cold water while boating, it is important to remember that cold water can quickly lead to hypothermia, a life-threatening condition. Trying to reboard your boat, even if it is capsized, is the correct answer in this situation. Remaining with your boat can help conserve your body heat and provide some protection from the cold water. Swimming to shore immediately might not be the best choice, as the cold water can quickly drain your energy and make swimming difficult, increasing the risk of hypothermia. Removing heavy clothing to reduce weight or swimming vigorously to generate body heat are not recommended actions in this case as they can actually make the situation worse.
