She was athletic, an experienced sailor, and a strong swimmer.'Chrissy must have gotten a mouth full of water that dumped,' Michael Bolan said.
Michael, a retired judge who once worked as a lifeguard, said the officials said Chrissy's friend was able to swim two miles to the shore in Winnetka, but he is not sure why his daughter was unable to.'You got two people out there, similarly situated,' he said.
