Discussions on relativity.
The river is the ether, the floats are the earth. The river flowing
past the floats is like the ether drifting past the lab apparatus
in the lab frame of reference.
The swimmers are ****ogous to the light, as they move at constant
speed wrt the water, just as light was presumed to move at a
constant speed wrt the ether.
In your "correction" you simply reiterated your previous argument,
which is just the ****ysis of the kinetics of constant speed
motion from a moving frame, even though you agreed that light
can not be appropriately modeled as beams of particles emitted
at constant speed.
