A man out for a late-night swim with friends at Rockaway Beach in Queens went missing after disappearing under water, cops said Sunday.
The 37-year-old swimmer went into the water with one of his pals near Beach 97th St. about 11:20 p.m. Saturday and didn’t resurface, cops said.
The friend made it back to shore and reported the man missing, cops said.
NYPD divers were in the water within an hour to look for the man but haven’t found him, an NYPD spokeswoman said.
The search was eventually called off overnight but was expected to resume Sunday.
Swimming is prohibited at city beaches except for from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during summer months when lifeguards are on duty
