Overview

You need to repeat this entry several times because after you leave the nice warm pool, the next time you practice this may be for real. It may be unexpected, cold, and a little scary, so take time to get it right now. A quick caution: if you fall in, you may be tempted to abandon your kayak and swim to shore. More than 99.9% of the time, this is a really bad idea. The shore is always farther away than it looks from water level and, most importantly, you’ve just abandoned your biggest lifejacket. That’s right! The kayak will float under virtually any conditions. You may not. Hang on to your kayak, even if you can’t get back in. The same goes for any watercraft: sailboat, windsurfer, rowing shell—always stick with it, unless it’s actually on fire, which is somewhat unlikely for a non-engine powered boat. Aside from the benefits of being a giant buoyancy bag, sticking with your craft allows you and it to be seen much more easily than if you are just a small head bobbing in the water. Also, you MUST BEWARE OF COLD WATER SHOCK. Watch this short film now; IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf3O1CcloN0
