When capsized, you should position your feet upwards and pointed towards the surface to help keep your body buoyant and prevent entrapment under the capsized vessel. This posture allows you to push off the bottom if necessary and aids in maintaining your balance while trying to right the boat or swim away. Additionally, keeping your feet together can help reduce drag and make it easier to maneuver. Always remain calm and assess your surroundings before attempting to surface.

Your feet should point downstream. Going down headfirst could result in hitting a rock with your head and being knocked unconscious.
Point your feet downstream to avoid getting them caught on any obstacles. This position allows your body to be pushed through the current feet-first, reducing the risk of entrapment. Practice floating on your back in a safe environment to increase your comfort and proficiency.
When capsized and floating on your back in a swift river current, you should position your body with your feet slightly elevated and pointing downstream, allowing them to absorb impact from any obstacles. Keep your arms out to the sides for balance and avoid tensing up; instead, stay relaxed to help with buoyancy. Aim to look upstream to assess your surroundings and identify any hazards. If you need to steer, use gentle movements with your arms and legs to guide your direction.
