Asked by Morgan
When you swim across a river does the time it takes to get to the other side depend on the rate of flow of the water? Defend your answer.

No! All that matters is the width of the stream and your speed.
HOWEVER, if the river is flowing south you must head east (or west :).
You will end up south of a point straight across, but that is the
whole point :) Do not try to swim at an angle upstream to get to a point straight across. All that matters is getting to someplace dry on the other side.
