On the morning of 9/21/12 nine people boarded the groups ski boat to go out and tow some wake boarders/surfers.  At approximately 11:00 am the ski boat stopped to pick up a fallen skier at a location that was approximately 200 yards from their houseboat.  At this time VICTIM stated that he was hungry and was going to swim from the ski boat to the houseboat to get some exercise and then get something to eat.  Three other occupants of the boat all asked/suggested to VICTIM that he wear a PFD for the swim.  VICTIM denied the PFD and jumped off the boat and started to swim toward the houseboat.

Multiple people on the ski boat stated they watched VICTIM swimming for a short distance from them and that he appeared to be swimming strongly.  At this time there were also two group members on the shore nearby washing their hair, two group members on the houseboat and two group members on PWC's farther back in Gunsight Cyn.  The ski boat began towing two others teaching her how to wake surf.  One of the towed individuals stated that when VICTIM was approximately 2/3 of the distance back to the houseboat that he noticed him stopped and possibly tread water.  Subject stated he saw his head go under water a few times and told the other boat passengers that they needed to go check on VICTIM.  Subject2 also stated that he had noticed VICTIM had stopped swimming and appeared to be possibly relaxing in the water closer to shore about 1/2 way back to the houseboat.

At this time the ski boat collected their skier and was going to go help VICTIM and the occupants noticed that they could no longer see VICTIM.
