Summary
The obligatory bath is complete once water reaches the entire body, including when one submerges in a river. Rubbing the body with the hands is not required and is only a recommended act during the obligatory bath. The answer refers to the book Matla' al-Badrain in its chapter on the obligatory bath.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
