Default RE: Why not to swim after your boat

This is why all combat models are fitted with a recovery float and line.
Please, please, please DO NOT attempt to recover your boat by swimming out after it!
If you must go into the water, it is best to do it from a recovery boat, with a lifeline attatched.
Remember, if you operate your boat in still water, the surface temperature of the water is much warmer than the water 2 feet down!
