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

Remove your clothing to reduce weight
Stay with the boat and try to get back in
Swim to shore immediately
Tread water to generate warmth

The correct answer is: Stay with the boat and try to get back in

If you fall into cold water while boating, the best course of action is to stay with the boat and try to get back in. By staying with the boat, you increase your chances of being visible to rescuers and also have a stable object to hold onto. Attempting to swim to shore immediately can lead to exhaustion and hypothermia, so it is not recommended. Treading water to generate warmth can also lead to further heat loss and fatigue. Removing your clothing to reduce weight is not necessary in this situation and can actually increase heat loss from your body. Therefore, the most appropriate action is to stay with the boat and attempt to re-enter it.
