Rescue crews have temporarily suspended a search for a swimmer missing in the Potomac River.
Swift-water rescue teams had spent hours looking for the 21-year-old man who went missing Saturday after going into the river in Cabin John. But the glare on the water made searching difficult, and they had to stop Sunday at about noon.
They will begin again tomorrow morning.
The man went missing after going into the water on Bear Island near the Billy Goat hiking trail. Three friends went into the water to try to rescue the man, but they couldn't find him.
Swimming is prohibited in that part of the Potomac, where there are strong currents and sudden drop-offs, and where the river can rise quickly. It's a popular location for kayakers, but those that were interviewed Saturday said they respect the river's danger.
Despite the ban on swimming, this is the second time in just a week that a swimmer was lost in that part of the river. Just last week, a 19-year-old went missing from Purple Horse Beach about a mile away.
