Stuck in "Dam" level in Far Cry

[Buddabing]

Once I jump off the waterfall I've never been able to run the gauntlet of trigens. They run me down and slaughter me every time. I can't swim past them either.

Any suggestions on what I can do? I have to go down the river, right?

Here's a Far Cry walkthru from gamespot.
