First, can anyone tell me if the above is true, and secondly, is there any way a person could jump into a river from a dock and get back to that dock against the current (swimming, or thrown a rope?). I grew up an ocean swimmer and have never ever swam in a river. None of my surf-swimming rules seem to apply! Any interesting details on river swimming would be of great interest and appreciated!
