Wardens Peterson and Rosen were patrolling the St. Croix river near Hudson when they heard the marine band radio traffic regarding swimmers in distress near an island in the Hudson Channel. Knowing that the river water levels were very high and the current strong, they responded to the distressed swimmers. They located one young man who was struggling to make it to shore. The strong current was pushing him past the safety of the island. The wardens were able to rescue the swimmer, bring him onboard the warden boat, and deliver him back to Minnesota.
