Operator, son, and friend borrowed canoe and were paddling just outside roped-off swimming area at public Sandlake beach.  Friend/victim said he could swim and jumped in the water to swim to the beach.  While doing so, he hit his foot on the canoe but said he was okay.  Operator's son also jumped in to swim (but not to the beach).  Operator started paddling to shore, when she noticed commotion and realized victim was in trouble.  People at the beach threw him a ball but he did not grab.  Another person on beach jumped on an inflatable water raft and went to victim who had gone under twice.  He recovered the body from the lake and put on the raft and started CPR and two other males (unidentified) assisted him in bringing the body to the beach shore.  On shore a female continued the CPR.  Shortly after that, EMS took over with CPR but to no avail.
