Here's my advice.
1) Don't quit kayaking.
2) Learn and knowledge your personal limits, and stick to rivers/sections within your abilities.
3) Make sure that you are paddling rivers where you can perform a self rescue if necessary.
4) Know your paddling partners better. Communicate with them on safety issues before a swim occurs so you are on the same page.
5) Kayak with kayakers. I've paddled with rafters before, and their vessels don't work the same. For example, have you ever gone mountain biking with a group of road bikers? It doesn't work out so good.
