The boat got into a violent eddy in the water, making it go around and around until everyone was feeling sick and dizzy.

Explanation

In water flow, an eddy is a current that flows opposite to the major flow, also known as a whirlpool.

If on a river, an eddy is a current that will flow upstream in a side channel filling it, even if the flow is in an opposite direction of the original flow. It is equivalent to a stream's water level rising because the river it feeds has more water in it than the stream, thus making the water flow upstream. It can also be an area that seems not to have a current at all.

Another example

Eddy is my best friend. (That example is just for a person called Eddy, not for the word "eddy", which is another word for a whirlpool!)
