Yes but use a life vest just in case
My grandkids are 9 and 10. We let them swim in the river. You need to be right there with the kids. There are also a lot of shallow areas perfect for wading. You will need to try it yourself to get a feel for it.
People to swim in the river, my family personally does not. The water can be very swift.
