For sure. Common sense is also important. As in, even if you are wearing a CG-approved PFD, don't go out in weather with high seas in a very small boat meant to be used on calm waters. You might get away with that in a kayak if you have a good tight spray skirt (I have, a couple times... eeks!), but in an open cockpit boat, not so much. Do you like swimming? I do, in fresh or salt water, not in swimming pools.
I’m taking my boy and one of his friends from church fishing in the morning. He’s spending the night and we are planning to get an early start. We just got back from putting the bait trap in the pond. If you fish long enough there’s going to be an occasion to need to be able to swim.
As a first responder in a rural area I’ve had to assist the lake patrol on several occasions, mostly on recovery but on a couple of occasions we actually retrieved live victims of boating mishaps. Occasions like the latter are made possible by people being able to swim...and the immediate availability of life jackets or a flotation cushion. If I could I’d have everyone who plans To own a boat learn to swim.

None of us are shocked in the slightest anymore that a Trump-supporter is an overt racist swine.
Hardly even noteworthy anymore.
I mean, the Republican party welcomes them with open arms, so what does that say about the GOP?
