You're right, there's no boat mentioned in the article. But then still, I would not let children who cannot swim play in a river, no matter how shallow the part the were in was. With a river you never know how it may react, it can have treacherous undercurrents that can sweep someone away before they realise it. As happened here.
Letting non-swimming kids play in a shallow, closed off pool or something under supervision) okay, but not in a river or sea.
