Swimming can help as long as water is cooler than your normal body temperature.

If it's 100 degress F and the water is 90 degrees F you'll still overheat and die.

Good point. I was thinking of a regular pool or natural body of water, which for the most part are usually cooler than a persons body temperature. I would definitely not recommend swimming in a hot tub during a heat event.
