I swear every time I get a game from EA, I regret it.

I pretty much echo that. I get sucked into marketing hype and almost always regret it.

This works for me: Stand still 5-10 seconds when you get in the water, and repeat...

I find it easiest to swim sideways

Ok this is what helped for me,
1 you swim forward.
2 the moment you are not going forward any more, release "w" key and hit esc. key (quick, to avoid going back to much)
3 hold "w" key and hit esc, you start swimming forward again.
4 repeat from 1, takes about 30 sec to get there.
Good luck.

Turn down your gfx settings to the LOWEST POSSIBLE and even reduce the resolution!
This has helped me get through this * part!
After you're back out, set your gfx back to what they were....

Dude, this is * *, it took me like 10 minutes to pass this first swim and the game bugged out, the console turned on and wouldn't turn off

All you have to to is a little patience. Let Irish swim a little so there will be a considerable space between you and him. Keep this space to the end.
