A 25-year-old is in critical condition after nearly drowning in Lake Michigan.

The Department of Natural Resources tells WNDU the man was swimming with family near Washington Park Beach when waves overcame him and he didn’t resurface. He was rescued by first responders & Good Samaritans. 

When the incident happened, it was “red flag” swimming conditions, meaning no one was allowed to be in the lake.
