Here's my completely unqualified interpretation.

Water is sexual, life-affirming, or about birth, beginnings, or being overwhelmed (or all of those things).

I think the guy you swam out to help is a part of yourself that you are letting go of.

Maybe it's a part that's connected with your masculine energy or maybe your subconscious just picked the man as a symbol because it was floating within reach, in your memory.

Anyway, you swim out to "rescue" or prevent the loss of that part of yourself, and what happens? It survives, and leaves the rest of you out to drown.

That part of yourself is ruthless. But ruthlessness might be just what you need right now.
