Search day 2: Swimmer went missing on Lake Wylie after wind carried boat away

South Carolina officials are continuing a search for a swimmer reported missing who lost contact with a boat Sunday at Lake Wylie, officials said Monday.

The missing swimmer was one of two people Sunday evening whose boat was pushed away by wind after going swimming, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources said in a social media statement. One of the people was rescued by another boat, while the other remains missing, DNR officials said Monday.

No other information about the missing swimmer has been released.

The area of the search is south of the Buster Boyd Bridge, according to the York County Sheriff’s Office . The lake is on the border of York County and North Carolina.

Deputies and DNR officers searched the lake Sunday night until dark when weather and nightfall caused the search to be suspended until Monday morning.

The search continued into Monday afternoon even with windy and rainy conditions, said Trent Faris, spokesman for the sheriff’s office.

The search included the DNR dive team, along with York County’s lake patrol and other units, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department emergency responders.
