Answer 1

If you do not know how to swim, tubing down any river is not a particularly safe activity.  The hazards of being in the water become significantly greater in moving water, even when that water is relatively shallow.

You can help mitigate the danger by 1) Wearing a proper Life Jacket and 2) Going with other people who are trained in Water Safety.  Even with that there is some danger for a non-swimmer.  As a Lifeguard and Whitewater Boater of many years experience I highly recommend skipping out on this trip, then go and get instruction on basic swimming and water safety skills.  With just a little advanced preperation you do do this sort of activity in reasonable safety.

Oh yeah, and if the group you are planning going with will be consuming alcohol or using drugs, then really really really don't go with them!  The vast majority of River accidents are associated with alcohol & drug use.
