A young man was rescued Monday morning from the waters of Lake Mendota after trying to swim across the lake, just a few days after a young man drowned in the lake. The Madison Fire Department Lake Rescue team was called to the shoreline of Lake Mendota at about 5 a.m. Monday, after a woman called 911 to report her boyfriend was in the water and was struggling to get back to shore. The rescue team went to 140 Iota Court, just east of the UW-Madison campus.
