In ver 11a the figure is Moab, vainly struggling to save himself in the water of the dung pit; in 11b "he" is, of course, Jehovah, who frustrates the efforts made by Moab.

(Prof. S. R. Driver, D. D.)

KJV: And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.

WEB: He will spread out his hands in its midst, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.
