Answer:

Swim in a strong north easterly direction so the the river carries him right across

Explanation:

The swimmer is on the west river bank with intentions of reaching the east river bank directly across him. If he just swims towards the east, the current of the river will carry him downstream landing him in a south easterly position, below where he intended to go. So the right thing to do would be to swim in a strong north easterly direction so the the river carries him right across.
