The river had a small boat (might have been a skip!) that was secured by a rope\/cable to pull to get access to either side.  Now me and Bryan decided to swim on the return leg, but the current took me away.  As I was drifting off towards the sides Steve dived into save me.  As fortune would have it I managed to get my foot on something as he just dived in.
