A. their total momentum triples.

B. their momentums are equal but opposite.

C. their total momentum doubles.

D. their total momentum decreases.

What is momentum?

Momentum means the product of the mass of a particle and its velocity. It is a vector quantity, it applied to both magnitude and direction. Since the swimmers are push away so here the momentum should be equal but it should be an inverse direction, not the direct direction.
