Agustin Romero Cuellar, 27, was swimming with three family members from the Oak Shores Park area near Knoxville Road on the west side of the lake to an island when he disappeared under water around 4:30 p.m., Capt. Tracey Stuart said.

The sheriff's dive team found Cuellar's body in 20 feet of water at about 11:40 a.m. Sunday, Stuart said. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.
