I'm guessing you click across the river, to the other shore and then click to drink from the waterskin just before you start to swim?
Almost. You click across the river and then rightclick your waterskin or flask so that you get the flower menu. It stays open even if you enter the water so you can click on the drink option whenever you need it. It wouldn't work with drinking before you enter the water if you had full stamina.
At my 80 con it works marvellous with Q10 water because it replenishes the stamina almost exactly at the same speed the swimming depletes it. Just be careful when you refill your waterskin, I once overlooked that I filled it with Q30 water. As we all know, higher Q water refills your stamina faster, and so my stamina was refilling faster than swimming could deplete it. That way it stopped refilling when the bar was full, even though I was still in the middle of the river. I almost drowned that time. Adreline rush.
So remember kids, swimming is dangerous. Try it out at places where rivers do a corner and you can cross water that's only one or two tiles wide.
It's also a nice way to leave your boat somewhere. Just exit it via swimming and you're making sure nobody can steal it unless he comes with another boat (well, or knows swimming). But the chances of someone taking your boat who already has one are way smaller than some random traveller taking it. And most people don't buy swimming, so that's another plus.
