If the guy can’t swim, what the heck is he doing out there without a life jacket? ESPECIALLY IN A KAYAK!?

According to his father, Hensley was a good swimmer, Swans can be NASTY. Years ago there was a case of swans drowning a jet-ski rider. I'd guess under similar circumstances when he got too close to a nest.

He could swim, but he didn't think it through. Wearing boots is the worst thing to do in a situation like that because they are hard to take off and they prevent you from slipping off your pants as well. When you are unexpectedly in the water, footwear then heavy pants (he was likely wearing jeans) are the first things to get rid of as you can then maneuver much easier.
