Whats best kind of life jacket to purchase to practice entering water from the side? The orange foam ones are 150N will these bring you straight back up? The inflatable ones go up 200+Ns, I had a fear of stepping in recently on PST course so intend buy my own life jacket and practice stepping in at my local pool in shallower water

I was taught you don’t kick your legs in case it speeds up hypothermia

Why do all the people swim in their clothes on? Is it because they jump off a plane or fall off a boat?
