To practice you can do what we did and just go out with an empty kayak close to shore and play around. We also loaded a bunch of rocks inside of the kayak to imitate gear and this makes it harder to flip back over but easier to climb on(in our kayaks case they get more stable with heavier load, some might become less stable).
Also note we weren't wearing life jackets because we often don't wear them while fishing(simulating what would actually happen). This isn't recommended especially if you are a questionable swimmer and really a person should always wear a life jacket, we are just bad examples...
