Two Rules
When I got my first kayak, my wonderful smart wife said "Two rules. Life jacket and sunscreen." I keep a tube of sunscreen in my yak, and I always wear my PFD, and my lovely wife still lets me go yakking.
Seriously, I took my adult son kayaking one time, got to the launch and realized we only had one PFD. I made the round trip for the other while my son watched our gear.
It doesn't matter how good you can swim, things can happen.
