I think you are the one trying to swim against the current.

Salmon do it all the the time.

... and look what happens to them in the end when they get there.

Don't they have sex?

Not really. The fish preparing to spawn swim up river. The female
lays eggs in depressions she digs in the gravel and the male comes
along and fertilises them. Then the female covers them. That's as
close to sex as it gets.

Then 95% of the spawning fish die and decompose.
