All parties involved were attending a youth church activity at the reservoir. The vessel was approximately 100 yards from shore in ~5 foot of water. Passengers were being swapped out, in the process of going tubing. The victim jumped off another boat and swam over to the bow (front) of vessel. The operator announced that they were pulling out. The victim pushed away from the vessel as the vessel left and was sucked into the propeller as the vessel passed by him. The victim advised that he was at fault because he swam up to the vessel where the operator could not see him and did not let the operator know he was there.
