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

  1. Swim to warm up

  2. Attempt to get out of the water immediately

  3. Use the HELP position to conserve body heat

  4. Start removing your clothing

The correct answer is: Use the HELP position to conserve body heat

If you fall into cold water while boating, it is crucial to conserve body heat to prevent hypothermia. The HELP (Heat Escape Lessening Posture) position is a recommended technique to help preserve body heat in cold water. By assuming the HELP position, you bring your knees to your chest, wrap your arms around your legs, and close your armpits to reduce heat loss from the body's core. This position helps retain body heat and increases your chances of survival until help arrives. Remember, attempting to swim to warm up or removing your clothing can actually increase heat loss in a cold water scenario, making the HELP position the best choice for survival.
