Great tips from Blue Marsh Lake: All boaters, ice skaters, ice boaters, should always dress for the weather and conditions. Cold water cools our body down 25-30 times faster than air at the same temperature. If you end up in a cold water situation, do not discard clothing. When going outdoors wear fabrics that insulate, even when wet. Clothing layers provide some warmth and may actually help you fight the onset of hypothermia. This includes shoes and hats. A popular myth is that wet clothes will weigh you down in the water. However, they may actually assist in keeping you afloat. The clothes are a lot heavier when you are out of the water.
