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

Start swimming to the nearest shore immediately
Remove heavy clothing
Try to get back into your boat
Tread water to generate heat

The correct answer is: Try to get back into your boat

If you fall into cold water while boating, the best course of action is to try to get back into your boat (Choice C). Attempting to swim to the nearest shore immediately (Choice A) can be a risky decision, especially in cold water where hypothermia can set in quickly. Removing heavy clothing (Choice B) might make it more difficult to stay afloat and conserve body heat. Treading water to generate heat (Choice D) can cause you to lose body heat faster than if you were out of the water. Therefore, getting back into your boat is the safest option to prevent further exposure to the cold water and potential dangers associated with it.
