"Treading water" Really? Not sure how possible that is while holding something heavy. How deep is the GU at that particular location?

I doubt one has enough leg power to tread water whilst holding a push chair above water, probably just poor/sensationalist journalism.  Though that does not diminish the selfless actions taken by the woman.  Well done to her.

There are many locations on the Leicester arm that would allow an ant to stand up in without getting their knees wet, i suspect they were treading silt.
