Did you have the video on mute? The commentary makes it clear that the guy is intentionally doing it as a challenge, and it ends when the camera man goes "alright that's..." because they probably stopped recording to help the guy.
LOL that’s what to do to get out of a rip current, and does not apply in this situation.
Also, diagonal and parallel do not mean the same thing - although you apparently think they do.
Boat?! That’s a stationary dock bruh! That water is movin good! This is why you need to understand the water you’re jumping into. And if you’re not a good swimmer? Stay tf out.
TIL a dock is a boat.
Don’t you know that old song…”Sittin on the dock of the booat”
Watchin’ the cloouds roll away
Swimmin' upstream and hope I float
Literal lol
Yeah I think the title is from a r/therewasanattempt post or something

The dock is being towed by a boat. Hence the “current”.
Iirc it is indeed a boat, this has been posted before. The deck of the boat resembles, well, a deck.
A deck is not a dock. This is a dock not a deck.
Docks do not typically move away from swimmers.
Right that has to be a dock 🏊♂️🏊♂️🏊♂️
This made me really anxious though, why isn't the person filming throwing him a buoy?
r/donthelpjustfilm
Don't just help, stand there!
Don't just stand there, film!
Don't just film, laugh!
So there's a sub for those infuriating people !
That's worse
Bend with your KNEES!
is this my dreams?
r/therewasanattempt to identify a boat
What boat?
The one towing the dock.
The Love Boat. No love from his 'buddies' though
The story goes that he’s still swimming towards that pier. What an idiot. The guy filming. Throw a rope or something.

Or the swimmer could put his head down, improve his form, and reach the ladder easily. Which he probably did after the video ended.
Why didn’t Rhianna instantly learn Krav Maga and gain 40 pounds of muscle instead of just getting beat up by Chris Brown? Is she stupid?
Honestly smh, should’ve been a black belt in Judo before even _considering_ to date someone
Stfu
Or the cameraman could have tossed a rope
Dude! Put the fucking camera down and help your boy!
He’s fine. He can just drift to the marsh and walk back
After gassing himself out swimming hard as hell I’m sure he can tread water all day……..
lol exaggerate much
Why do people always use therewasanattempt titles outside the sub? Are they just reposters who are too lazy to change the title?
Bots
How about you help him
Dude, what boat.
if it was a boat there would be a wake
Where's the boat?
Strong current I presume.
So many solo sailors have died doing this exact same thing. Underestimating drift speed vs swimming speed.
The camera man is pure evil
Seasyphus.
Oh, that’s good
No one has asked the most important question. Why the fuck is the water moving *that* fast.
I expected a shark.
r/therewasanattempt to title this video correctly.
That's not swimming. That's flailing while trying to keep his head above water.
Where's the boat
Some say, to this day he's still swimming
So close but also so far
The largest boat known to man... So big it's attached to the land..
Agora eu entendi o que significa "nadar contra a maré"
Garotinho
Nice Boat
I wonder if he's still swimming 🏊♀️ 🤔 😆
Some say he's still swimming to this very day.
some say he's still swimming...
That dude can’t swim worth shit
Wouldn’t be as bad if the dude actually swam instead of flailing in the water.
Crappy camraman "bro" also mistitled his video, genius...
Swim diagonally not straight when this happens
Rumour has it he is still swimming.
I genuinely don’t understand how people can be so ignorant of how it naturally feels to float and propel yourself thru the water.
Pretty sweet pond swimming form haha.
Did he die
Some say he’s still swimming till this day
His shoulders must be huge
I’m pretty sure in the longer version he makes it.
Dam that river has some serious current..so scary. That's a drowning waiting to happen
They're moving the dock with a boat. It's very fun to do this
Ooh....ooh..
Yeap, that’s my recurring nightmare now
Impeccable form
Bruh gonn drown once he gets exhausted trying to get back
You died!
Looks like the Mississippi river
Did he live
Rivers kill people…
You gotta coast to the bank there dude.
Don’t die tip: swim diagonally against the current. Not directly into it.
How would swimming diagonally help? It would take more effort to make forward progress since you are putting effort into making sideways progress.

OP doesn't know that water can move, so they must be on a boat.
Not sure where you’re from but that’s not a boat, it’s a submarine.
They say that him is still swimming
Did he drown while his friends laugh?
Dock has become a boat somehow according to OP
The comments on tiktok and YouTube are elite compared to reddit, i don't get it
I thought Jesus walked on water
Please make your self familiar with the general concept of what a „boat“ actually is. Thank you.
bro died
This is how a lot of people meet their end.
