Hello life jacket, I hope I never use you!
Ok stupid question, can you swim in one of those?

Yes, I know some auto-inflate and obviously you can't swim in those. But if I wear an manual inflate version, can I keep it on while swimming around the boat, then just pull the rip cord if I get oin trouble?
