Try to catch the rope on the side of the boat, and try to pull yourself toward it (turn upside down, then climb into it). If others remained in the boat pass the ‘T-end’ of your paddle to them then they can help you. If it is does not work either, assume the whitewater swim position (face downstream with your feet out in front of you, legs should be slightly bent and swimmer’s nose and toes should be above the water). Swim position should be maintained until swimmer is rescued or until swimmer has the opportunity to get back to the raft or to get to shore. -Be prepared for weather changes

WW I: easy, constant current and waves, easy, open curves, easily avoidable obstacles, visible routes. very small rough areas, might require slight maneuvering
WW II: medium, changing current and waving, small whirlpools and obstacles in the river, small stairs, but still visible routes. some rough water, maybe some rocks, might require some maneuvering.
WW III: difficult, high, unsystematic waving, big obstacles in the river, stairs, small obstructions, branches, the routes are sometimes barely visible. maybe a small drop, but no considerable danger. may require significant maneuvering.
WWIV: very difficult, high, unsystematic waving, big obstacles in the river, stairs, obstructions, branches, bushes, the routes at some places are not visible, exploration from the riverbank is needed. rocks, maybe a considerable drop, sharp maneuvers may be needed.
WW V: exceptionally difficult, extreme descending of the river-bed, stairs, narrow passage- ways, obstrucles, exploration from the riverbank is inevitable. Mistakes can cause serious or fatal consequences. possibility of large rocks and hazards, possibility of a large drop, requires precise maneuvering.
WW VI: extreme level. Usually unrunnable, thorough planning and training required even from the most experienced ones. Rafters can expect to encounter substantial whitewater, huge waves, huge rocks and hazards, and/or substantial drops that will impart severe impacts beyond the structural capacities and impact ratings of almost all rafting equipment
