Question

Ep-1 what should you do if you suddenly find yourself in cold water?

Answer 1

When you found yourself in cold water, immediately find a life jacket and try to float for about 60-90 seconds for the cold shock to pass and rebuild your breathing rhythm. If you are floating, lean back in water to keep the airway clear. After this, you can now start to swim and ask for help.

Answer 2

Try to conserve heat as much as possible. This can be done by closing your arms tight to your torso and adopt the Heat Escape Lessening Position, or H.E.L.P, put your legs together and keep your head above water to keep it dry. Dot try to swim but hold onto a floating object and stay still and wait to be rescued (if there is no nearby boat to reach to). Swimming can reduce your survival time by almost 50%.
