The HELP position in swimming is a survival method used to conserve heat if you have fallen in to cold water. It is difficult to do this position unless you are wearing a life jacket. "HELP" stands for Heat Escape Lessening Posture. This posture can increase the chances of survival by reducing the amount of body surface area that is directly exposed to cold water. In this position, the chest and knees are in contact with each other rather than being in contact with cold water.
1. Draw the knees up to the chest.
2. Keep the face forward and out of the water.
3. Hold the upper arms at the side and fold the lower arms across the chest, (or hug yourself and put your hands under your armpits.
Do not use this position in swift river currents or whitewater
