You can sink pretty far & fast in four, five, six seconds, and the Lake gets dark awfully fast. Three-foot swells make a rescue more than a little difficult, especially for someone without lifesaving or water safety training. Lose sight of a person in distress, and it's going to be awfully hard to find them in that part of the lake. Swells like that move a boat quickly...and the spot where you *believe* a person went down is actually far from it.
