LAKE TRAVIS, Texas - The search continues for a swimmer that went missing on Lake Travis last week.

Rescue efforts were ultimately unsuccessful and the response shifted into a recovery mission, says TCSO.
The missing man was last seen near a boat that was anchored in Devil’s Cove, says TCSO, adding that water in that area is about 35 feet deep with low visibility due to silt. Throughout the week, TCSO employed a number of search methods including sonar, drone, shoreline and surface searches.
