Both tradegies....sadly we have seen the swimmers numerous times in the past few years in the middle fork area near the Huntsville side. Many of the times it was after the sun went down and we were anchored offshore perhaps 50 yeard and they would come within about 30 feet of our boat...you could hear them before you could see them and they were not easy to see being just anchored and in calm water........many times we would comment on how dangerous that it was to be swimming in the dark and in an area that is heavily used by skiers.....parayer out to her family.
We have witnessed kids and adults diving off of the boat docks clearly marked no swimming as boats are trying to tie up or launch at the docks.
The blatant disregard for the posted warnings may lead to many more deadly incidents.
