You could be on a cruise ship, you could be on a plane, or you could simply be fishing off a dock. In all of these scenarios, it's not at all far-fetched that you could end up bobbing in the waves, gasping for breath between waves.
A riptide can quickly make an already horrible situation much, much worse, and you'll have to come up with a game plan quickly, or you may slip under and not be able to reach the surface again.
It's a terrifying ordeal, and the worst part is that it's not uncommon. Thousands of people around the world drown every year, almost making one want to carry a life preserver around at all times, just in case.
As it turns out, you may already be carrying a life preserver on you at all times,you just don't know it yet.
Check out the life-saving trick on the next page to find out how to turn your pants into a floatation device before you slip beneath the waves.

Chris Breneman- Check out this pants flotation device! Super rad!
This is harder than it looks…. Had to do it several years ago in Red Cross swimming lessons
They already teach that in swimming lessons
Taught this in Navy Boot Camp.
Yup. Covered that in bootcamp. Also how to use our hat to float. Interesting to nonmilitary I guess.
Just hope you do not have any holes in your pants………
