The search continues in Kamloops for a missing swimmer who disappeared last week, the RCMP says.
Mounties say the person was last seen outside the designated swim area at Riverside Park on Friday, when he went under and never resurfaced.
Firefighters and police initially searched the river and shoreline, said the RCMP.
“Kamloops Search and Rescue deployed to assist with an underwater sonar search along with the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team (URT),” said Cpl. Dana Napier.
“As part of the search, the Kamloops RCMP Detachment deployed a drone to the area to assist the ground and water searches.”
Crews say there is still no sign of the swimmer.
Police ask anyone who interacted with the swimmer on the shore or saw them enter the water to call the RCMP at 250-828-3000 and refer to file 2026-24183.
