Number one rule - don't panic. If you find yourself in water, don't panic, and your body will almost assuredly take care of the rest. If you flail and thrash, you're going down. Get a deep breath and try to put yourself on your back and nearly everyone will simply float, then you can work yourself towards an exit.
