Overview

  • Authorities say Nikolas Tomasevic remains missing, and San Francisco police have initiated a recovery operation.
  • He was last seen around 10:15 a.m. Saturday near the historic Eureka vessel in Aquatic Park after separating from a swimming partner.
  • Club members and the San Francisco Fire Department searched the water Saturday for about an hour, according to fire officials.
  • The on-water search was suspended Sunday, according to the Dolphin Club assistant manager.
  • Tomasevic, 35, is an experienced Dolphin Club swimmer, and Saturday’s strong flood current, cool water and 8–10 foot depths heightened risk and complicated the response.
