If there was no current, Frank would swim at the same rate of kilometers per hour.

Explanation:

Given that Frank swam the same amount of kilometers against the current and with the current in the same time, then we realize that the current is a variable that does not affect Frank's swimming speed. So if there was no current, it would surely swim the same amount of kilometers at the same time.
