After an unknown time under water, the boys were able to bring Swanson back to shore.

CPR was performed on Swanson. Life Care Ambulance arrived and took him to Elkhart General Hospital where he is listed in critical condition.

Assisting at the scene was the Cass County Marine Division, and the Penn Township Fire Department. The incident is still under investigation.
