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.
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.
