Emergency crews are searching a lake west of Edmonton for a missing swimmer. Shortly before 9 p.m. Friday, Parkland County RCMP were called to find a boater who had gone swimming and was in distress at Wabamun Lake, near the village of Kapasiwin, Alta., almost 65 kilometres west of Edmonton. The man, a 20-year-old from Edmonton, went under the water and never resurfaced, an RCMP spokesperson told CBC News. Fire crews put a boat on the water and searched the area Friday night but were unsuccessful in finding the man. A RCMP boat and dive team resumed the search Saturday.
