In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, I know that you can swim in the ocean when you have your Wetsuit on. However, when I try to dive in the river, my character just moves his arms in a way that he's pretending to swim. Is there any other way to get in? Maybe a glitch or hack? Please help!

Usage of QR Codes is unlocked at the Able Sisters clothing shop after becoming friends with Sable. If you've played previous entries in the Animal Crossing series, you might be familiar with this process: you simply chat with Sable at least once a day for a number of days, and she gradually becomes more friendly with you.
As far as I can recall, this is the first game in the series that rewards you for going through this friendship process.
Update: I've been speaking with Sable every day for 10 days, and now the QR machine has been unlocked today (which would have made 11 days if I had to continue). I spoke to her for 10 consecutive days, so I do not know if this will also work if you skip a day. Lyle and Nook had a short conversation regarding the Able Sisters when I visited them yesterday -- I'm not sure if the friendship process unlocked that but I think it is probably an easter egg.
At any rate, the QR machine looks like a large sewing machine that sits on the back wall near Sable. When you attempt you interact with it, you will open dialog with Sable.
Instructions to read QR codes are as follows:
- Select QR Code Machine.
- Tell Sable you would like to use QR Code machine.
- Tell Sable you would like to 'Read a QR Code.'
- Select one of your current designs to be replaced by a new design.
- Line your Nintendo 3DS Camera up with the desired QR Code.
- Confirm that the displayed design is OK.
The displayed design will then become one of your 10 patterns.
You are punished for changing the game time (no matter how much, it seems), but not the system time. Here's what happens:
If you change the time on your 3DS system, Animal Crossing seems to simply think that's the time it is now. Trees grow, events change, the only "bad" things that happen would have happened with the flow of time. Even going back in time via this method seems to work okay, even when going to a day previously played.
If you change the game time, using the option at the main menu of Animal Crossing, you will randomly trip for a while after changing the clock. The duration of tripping seems to last longer than the current play session, possibly the full day? But it eventually goes away. If, however, you were to change the game time this way before every play session you would trip randomly every single session, which is highly frustrating.
Also note that going backwards in time will spoil any turnips you had, since the game knows you went backwards, while it doesn't know you went forwards if you go by the system clock.
tl;dr: Change your 3DS's system time to time travel, do not mess with the in-game clock regularly or will will randomly trip.

You can't dive into the river. However, by using the Tweeter/Beans glitch (or the King Tut glitch), it is possible to stand on the river (which makes fishing a lot easier!).
You need two people to do the glitch.
