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

  1. Attempt to climb back into the boat

  2. Remove clothing to reduce weight

  3. Swim to warm up

  4. Try to float with the help of a life jacket

The correct answer is: Try to float with the help of a life jacket

If you fall into cold water while boating, the best course of action is to try to float with the help of a life jacket, which is the correct answer. A life jacket will help keep you afloat and conserve your body heat, increasing your chances of survival in cold water. Removing clothing to reduce weight or swimming to warm up are not recommended actions as they can lead to increased heat loss and exhaustion, respectively. Attempting to climb back into the boat can be difficult and dangerous, especially in cold water, making it a less effective choice compared to relying on a life jacket to float.
