Also put a switch operated strobe on there/carry a waterproof flashlight ATTACHED to your vest.
You can't beleive just how hard it is to spot an unlit body floating in the water... no matter if they're screaming or not. And it helps your friends on the beach keep track of you.
I've been on a raceboat once and had someone go over the side without a light. What would have normally taken 2 minutes.... took probably about 45 minutes to find the guy/get him back onboard. (We practice this stuff over and over... I race with a good sharp group of guys.)
