This is actually a pretty complicated question, thinking from the very start.
Personally, I think I would've gotten into Lifepod 1 or 2 for rushing like a maniac to get out of the ship and getting wiped out before even reaching the water.
With a bit more hope, the most likely scenario is my lifepod sinking because of a failure with the flotation device. I think that I would just swim desperately towards the rendezvous point, because at the very least I wouldn't be on the water.
