Police say two men were swimming toward an island near the reservoir's dam around three.
That's when one of the men started struggling to stay afloat .. his friend tried to pull him along - but wasn't able to help him.
When the apparent victim went under, the second swimmer searched, but could NOT find him.
Several area rescue teams are searching by boat for the 23-year old missing man and dive teams are expected to enter the water soon.
Lifeguard 10 was NOT able to do an air search because of the rain.

What started as a "hit and run" accident apparently ended with an assault on a police officer and a medic.
Police say 31-year old Mark Atkins of Roanoke ran a red light at the intersection of Brandon and Edgewood, hit another car and kept going.
A cab driver who witnessed the accident flagged down an off-duty Roanoke County police officer who then gave chase.

Atkins was finally stopped by Roanoke City officers in the parking lot of Towers mall.
While being taken into custody, police say Atkins spit on an officer and later spit on a civilian medic at the Roanoke City Jail. That's landed him two assault charges.
He's also charged with felony hit and run and eluding police.

Public schools in Virginia will soon be required to post the national motto, "In God We Trust."
Yesterday, Governor Mark Warner signed the legislation despite concerns about the cost.
Warner said he's been assured that private donations will pay for the signs.
Last month, lawmakers rejected the governor's changes to nine bills and sent them back to his desk.
He has now signed all of them, including the Open Container Bill that makes it illegal to possess an open alcoholic beverage in the passenger area of a motor vehicle.
