Stay calm
Stop struggling
Lean back to increase your surface area
Move slowly and deliberately
Wiggle your legs gently to loosen them
Bring one leg up at a time
Use your arms to support your weight
Reach for stable ground, roots, rocks, or branches
Lie back and float if possible
Crawl or roll toward firmer ground
Remove heavy items if you can do so safely
Call for help
Use a stick, rope, or branch if available
Once free, move away slowly and carefully
