🔍 Key Concepts

• Hypothermia prevention in cold water – how the body loses heat in water vs. air • Use of immersion suits and clothing layers for insulation • Swimming and movement in cold water – how it affects heat loss

💭 Think About

• Think about which actions help you lose heat more slowly once you are already in the water. • Consider how an immersion suit is designed to work: does it go over bare skin or over clothing, and why? • Ask yourself whether continuous swimming in cold water keeps you warmer or actually increases heat loss.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each option, decide whether it clearly reduces heat loss or might accidentally increase it. • Verify standard guidance on what to wear under an immersion suit from your training materials. • Recall cold-water survival advice about limiting movement vs. active swimming when awaiting rescue.
