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

Start swimming to shore immediately
Remove your shoes and clothing
Try to reboard your boat even if it's swamped
Signal for help loudly

The correct answer is: Try to reboard your boat even if it's swamped

When falling into cold water while boating, the first thing you should do is try to reboard your boat. Cold water can quickly drain your energy and make it difficult to swim, so it is safer to stay close to your boat and try to climb back aboard, even if it is swamped. Removing your shoes and clothing may also be helpful to prevent hypothermia, but it should not be your first priority. Swimming to shore immediately may be dangerous, especially if you are far from shore or have no life jacket. Finally, signaling for help loudly is important, but it should not be your first action.
