Rain exploded against the river’s surface like gunshots. Stinging rivets of watery bullets ricochetted into Jeremy’s face. “David!” he gasped. “Hold on!” Flailing in the swiftly moving current, Jeremy furiously cradled his brother David’s head like a football, tucked tightly against his shoulder. They bobbed in the foamy rushing currents, Jeremy gulping for air just before being pulled underwater once again. Each time the current dragged him downward, Jeremy simultaneously pushed David above him so as not to be drawn down with him.
There's an interesting phenomenon in fiction, when one chapter ends and another begins with a new POV (different characters). I start the chapter thinking, "Wait, I want to read more about Frankie and Becca! Who are these guys?" But then by the end of the chapter, I don't want to leave David and Jeremy. I don't know how authors do it, but you nailed it with this chapter. Well done.

So glad you're enjoying it, Matthew! Thanks for the encouragement :)
Love the pace so far, can’t wait to see how they get out of this.
What’s going to happen next?!?!?!
