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

Swim to keep warm
Try to get out of the water as soon as possible
Attempt to rescue others first
Remove clothing to reduce weight

The correct answer is: Try to get out of the water as soon as possible

If you fall into cold water while boating, the most important thing to do is to try to get out of the water as soon as possible. This is because cold water can quickly lead to hypothermia, where your body loses heat faster than it can produce it, potentially leading to loss of consciousness and even death if not treated promptly. Getting out of the water and into dry clothing or at least onto a boat can help prevent further heat loss and improve your chances of survival.
