Most drowning victims first suffer from hypothermia. The following chart shows the effects of hypothermia: HOW HYPOTHERMIA AFFECTS MOST ADULTS Water Temperature Exhaustion or Expected Time º C º (F) Unconsciousness of Survival 0.3 (32.5) UNDER 15 MIN UNDER 15 TO 45 MIN 0.3 TO 4 (32.5 to 40) 15 TO 30 MIN 30 TO 90 MIN 4 TO 10

Some Points to Remember About Hypothermia Protection: 1. Always wear your PFD. Even if you become incapacitated due to hypothermia, the PFD will keep you afloat and greatly improve your chances of rescue. 2.

In cold water, drown-proofing methods that require putting your head in the water are not recom- mended. Keep y
