To prevent capsizing or swamping, ensure that your vessel is properly loaded and balanced, distributing weight evenly. Always wear a life jacket and maintain a safe speed, especially in rough waters. Stay aware of weather conditions and avoid sharp turns or sudden maneuvers. Regularly check your equipment and be prepared with a plan for emergencies.

To advise on capsizing or swamping, first ensure that all individuals on board are wearing life jackets and are briefed on safety procedures. Maintain a low center of gravity by keeping heavy items secured and distributed evenly. If capsizing occurs, stay with the vessel if it's safe to do so, and signal for help. In the event of swamping, focus on staying calm, getting to higher ground if possible, and conserving energy while awaiting rescue.
