Question:- When performing a self rescue, when should you swim to shore?.

Answer:

While attempting a self-rescue, you should go for the shore only if that is the safest and the possible option taking into account factors like swimming ability, conditions of the water and the distance to the shore. In general, it is urged to stay with the ship or the floating article rather than opt to swim to the shore unless that is the only viable option
