There were at least two drowning victims on Tennessee waterways over the weekend.  A 22-year-old man drowned while boating on Fort Loudon Lake Saturday afternoon.  Authorities say  Charles Ebguniwe was swimming from a boat toward shore when he went under and never resurfaced.

A 38-year-old man drowned Saturday on Tims Ford Lake in Franklin County.  His body was recovered around 2:30pm in the Awalt area of the lake.

TWRA urges everyone to wear a life jacket at all times while boating and swimming.
