NSW: Bad weather hampers search for swimmer at Lake Jindabyne
SYDNEY, Aug 16 AAP - Bad weather has hampered a search for a man who went missing while
swimming at Lake Jindabyne in the NSW Snowy Mountains.
The 40-year-old went for a swim between the mainland and Cub Island at 4pm (AEST) on
Saturday, a distance of 280 metres.
Witnesses said the man appeared to get into difficulties and disappeared from view.
Emergency services began their search for the swimmer at 5pm on Saturday, but had to
call it off at 7pm.
The search resumed on Sunday morning but had to be called off about lunchtime due to
strong winds and choppy waters.
The search will resume on Monday if weather permits.
