Tips from a former WSI:

Alone, take off your jeans and tie the pant legs in a knot. Whip the pants over your head filling them with air to make a temporary flotation device. This helps until rescue unless you succomb to the cold first.

Together you can swim farther taking turns than separately, assuming your are calm and trust each other. Panicing is the worst thing you can do. One lays flat on their back (head must be back in the water looking up). Arms extended on the shoulders of the swimmer doing a breast stroke slowly pushing the partner towards land.

Non-metaphor advice, make those dependent on you, z, tread water for a while as you recouperate. I don't think they'll drown, and they may learn something in the process. I think you have tried this in the past. (((_z)))
