This boating incident with the NFL players raises the question of when would it be appropriate to leave a capsized boat (violating a prime safety rule) and attempt to swim to shore? I'm sure many of the people on this forum would do just fine only a mile from shore in reasonable seas, and I'm also sure some would feel safe going for it at even longer distances. I'm curious, what's your threshold?

In such situations, do people usually swim freestyle? Would it be better to swim a style that can keep the face out of water, such as backstroke (could even be elementary) or breaststroke with head above water?
