What should you do if your small craft capsizes in swift water?

Answered by admin @



The following guidelines should be followed if your vessel capsizes in swift water:
Float on the upstream side of your craft. You can be crushed on the downstream side if you run into an obstruction. 
Float on your back with your feet and arms extended. Float with your feet pointed downstream to act as a buffer against rocks. Don't fight the current. Use the current to backstroke your way to shore.
Do not attempt to stand or walk in swift-moving water. The current could pull you under if your foot becomes trapped between submerged rocks.
