Objective:
This exercise trains you to board the watercraft in deep water after falling off, and to upright
a capsized watercraft. Repeat these exercises until you can perform them without difficulty.

Attach the engine shut-off cord to your wrist and keep the watercraft afloat in water that is
at least chest deep.
