Answer 10

Yes. Take a look at the water. You'll notice eddies & whirlpools. The cahnces are that even the srongest of swimmers would get sucked under by the competeing current.

If you must jump into the Thames - and I wouldn't reccomend such idiocy - go up to somewhere like Oxford where it is neither tidal nor particulalry fast flowing.

Answer 11

YES OBVIOUSLY

Answer 12

yes esp at high tide, water is v swirly and before you body adjusts to the temperature you will be at Waterloo Bridge no doubt unable to get to the side.. At low tide it might be too shallow although less currents to sweep you away.
