Hughes, a forklift truck driver from Denbighshire, north Wales, was arrested immediately after getting out of the water and fined $330 (£250). He told the Daily Post: “It was around 45-50 degrees outside and we were on a stag do in Vegas. “We were all just standing there and I thought fuck it, I’m going for a swim. It’s a hell of a sight to see the dam from underneath.”It took him 30 minutes to cross the reservoir. There are no signs saying no swimming – you’re just expected not to.”He did, however, admit the swim was “drink fuelled”.
