Im going to try to answer this, I think its hard because when your going down current you are moving the same way as the current. If you go against it the water pushes on you making it harder to get foward. If the current is going 5 miles an hour and you swim with the current you will have 5 mph added to your speed. If you swim against it 5 mph is deducted. Hope i answered it correctly
