No swimming in the Yukon River. It's deadly. It's extremely cold and never does really warm up. It's also got a powerful curtain. Unfortunately, there a few drownings every summer in it. There are some calm sections that are great for rafting and paddling with the right equipement.
oh...I see! you meant current instead of curtain? (new word to me) well, I still'd love to swim in the challenging yukon...no kidding! really beautiful.
