Good advice but in addition:

   Teach drown proofing. This can be taught in 15 minutes. One does not even need to know how to swim!  For instance, if one tried to swim too far and becomes too tired just take a deep breath,extend your arms and float face down without moving. About 3 times a minute exhale, lift your head high enough to take a quick breath and go back to rest. If one does not panic this will allow one to survive many hours.  I remember a deck hand from a tug off Mobile who was washed overboard a number of years ago who survived over 30 hours using this.

  Another point is if panicky swimmer grabs on he will climb anything you stick up. About the only way to get him off your back is to dive. They won't hold on something dragging them down.
