Is it ok to have too much current for the clowns?

I bought a pair of clowns that's about 4" big today notice that they're having a hard time swiming. It seems like they're putting a lot of effort to swim from one side of the tank to the other. the damsels seems to be doing fine. Sometime I even see them getting blown backward when they stop swimming. I don't know if they're enjoying it or they're just having a hard time swimming. there are other places in the tank that have lower current but they seem to like hanging around right where the power head 802 is blowing. beside the current from my return pump ther's only that 1 power head in there that's blowing @ the feather duster.
 
My percula clown likes to swim against the current from my return line. It looks like he's going like mad against the current. Considering their natural environment, I think that it's just normal for them.
 
likewise my clowns like to intentionally swim against my powerhead out flow. they are mental swimmers and seem to really like it dispite there being lots of quieter areas to swim.
