I don't get how it works, does the competition get legal rights over the whole stretch of the race.

I went to the Varsity rugby match a few years ago, the best thing about it was it was interupted about 6 times with streakers

Although I don't think it's actually illegal to swim in The Thames, I think it is frowned upon by the river police who patrol it, and I would suspect you would be picked up by them mainly for your own safety. I don't think I have ever seen anybody swimming in it.
