No marked swim area at park where teen went under water

GEORGETOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A Wyoming teen remained in critical condition Sunday night after going under the water for several minutes at a Georgetown Township park on day earlier.

Kaivon Eskew, 15, was trying to get to a ball when he started to  struggle at a drop-off in the lake at 8th Avenue Community Park on Saturday. He was under the water for eight minutes before being pulled out of the lake, authorities say.

Now some are raising concerns about a lack of signage at the park.  The only sign posted reminding swimmers of risks and warning that there  are no lifeguards is at the front entrance, far away from the beach.
