"I'm going to swim that river or die trying"

I would be tempted to go all-in on the 'die trying' side. And wouldn't throwing animal blood in the water to distract flesh-eating fish and reptiles also tend to attract said creatures?

I think he will be OK, he's a big swimmer.

This one seems the craziest but it seems to be his thing.

After all, he is swimming "for world peace and environment" and this seems to be the best way I can think of achieving some environment....
