Starting in 1996 we elaborated New Interpretation (NI96) of Michelson's analysis experiments from 1881/87 (MMX), related to discovery the existence Errors 1 and 2 (ER12) MMX analysis, including its model two swimmers/boats contest (TSC), whose times equality outcome, contradicts current Physics textbooks (PTB), containing ER12. In this Article, a new proof correctness NI96 is presented, on basis symmetry paths TSC. The complete times, Phase 0 TSC, when water velocity zero, was presented Article. Then, permanent regarding t1 t2 1, more general non-zero, demonstrated This achieved by performing complex mathematical demonstration, for case previously unused river bank (BF) reference frame. Therefore, according symmetric TSC ends tie, light fringes should not have moved, as happened. symmetry, represents supports NI96, confirming ER12 presence so all PTBs require TSC’s result MMX’s be corrected.
