The SWAMP MAP in your inventory shows the safe path across the quicksand, though in a rather crude fashion. All of the solid squares in the swamp have green plants on them, but not all of the squares with plants are safe. The X's on the map show approximately where each safe square is.
Here's a slightly clearer version.
Start by taking a running jump from the bank to the green square off to the left.
Ahead are two more green squares close together. Take a running jump to land on the one on the left.
Turn right and take a running jump over the nearest green square to land on the one beyond it.
Turn slightly to the right and take a running jump to land on the green square between here and the big tree on the far bank.
Turn left and take another running jump to the next green square.
Turn left again to face the gray rock outcropping in the far corner of the swamp. Walk to the corner of this green square and take a standing jump to the next one. (Or
back up and take a running jump. Either will work.)
Take a running jump to the next green square, ahead and a little to the left.
Now jump to the green square in the corner of the gray rocks. Again, either a running jump from the farthest corner or a standing jump from the nearest one will work.
Climb into the little cave for SECRET #1—2 sets of MP5 clips.
Hop down from the opening onto the corner square. Then jump back to the previous green square. Turn around and take a running jump from there to the bank just to the right of the gray rocks.
