What is the first thing you should do if you fall overboard into cold water?

  1. Swim to warm up

  2. Try to get out of the water immediately

  3. Drink a warm beverage

  4. Scream for help

The correct answer is: Try to get out of the water immediately

If you fall overboard into cold water, the first thing you should do is try to get out of the water immediately. Cold water can quickly lead to hypothermia, so it is crucial to minimize your exposure as much as possible. Swimming to warm up or drinking a warm beverage will not be as effective in preventing hypothermia as getting out of the water. Moreover, screaming for help can waste valuable energy that could be better spent on getting out of the water.
