I *MAY* have found something resembling a solution, but only on PC. I encountered the same bug, and I was swimming for a solid 10 minutes before I came to my senses and realized this isn't right. Alt + Tab ing from the game to my browser then back into game seemed to have fixed it. Then I had to take a left turn and the current came back, I used alt+tab again, and it was gone again. Same thing happened for the final right turn. Try alt tabbing from the game on PC and see if it fixes it. If this bug exists on consoles, I don't know what you can do :/.
