As learnt in

Newton's 3rd Law -

\vec{F_{AB}}=-\vec{F_{BA}}

- wherein

Action & reaction never acts on the same body.

\vec F_{AB} \ is\ force\ acting \ on \ B\ by \ A

\vec F_{BA} \ is\ force\ acting \ on \ A\ by \ B

 

 Reaction force will help him to move forward. Hence Newton's third law will help him to reach shore.
