Make sure you wear a life jacket coz that water's gonna be really deep!
===================================================
Boats are designed to float. If possible, get back in the boat and attempt to bail it out.
Otherwise, hang on to the boat, rather than risk trying to swim to shore.
Attempt to move the boat to shore. If you stay with the boat, and the boat gets to shore, you'll be safe.
If you stay with the boat, even if you can't bring the boat to shore, you have a much greater chance of being rescued than you'd have trying to reach shore on your own.
If there are rapids, exposed rocks or rocks just below the surface:
You should float on your back with your toes pointed downstream.

If you have a small boat that capsizes in a stream you should try to roll it over. If the stream is shallow this should be easy.

Float on your back on the upstream side of the craft.
If your small craft capsizes in swift water, prioritize your safety by staying calm and assessing your situation. Try to cling to the overturned craft, as it can provide buoyancy and stability. If you are swept away, point your feet downstream to avoid obstacles and keep your head above water. Look for a safe place to swim toward, such as the riverbank, and avoid trying to swim directly against the current.
When your boat capsizes you need to stay with your boat
stay with the boat and signal for help.
securely fasten your PFD!!
If your small craft capsizes, the safest way to float is to stay with the boat if possible, as it provides buoyancy and is easier for rescuers to spot. If you must leave the craft, use a flotation device or any nearby debris to help keep you afloat. Position yourself on your back with your feet pointing downstream if in a river, to avoid obstacles, and conserve energy while waiting for rescue. Always prioritize staying calm and keeping your head above water.
