Does anyone have any tips for swimming against current? Do you adjust your stroke?

If you are swimming directly into a current, I'd go with what Rob C says. If, however, you are dealing with a cross current or a 3/4 current, my best advice is to be acutely aware of where you are at all times. A cross current can blow you off line very quickly if you don't pay attention. Then you will be swimming for your life just to get back on a decent line. Exhausting and time consuming.
