general physics question...?

A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.5 m/s in still water (i.e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.5 m/s relative to the water), starts to swim directly across a 3.3 km wide river. However, the current is 0.91 m/s, and it carries the swimmer downstream.

how long to cross the river?
how far downstream when reaching the other side?
