There were some tense moments at a Lagrange County waterpark on Saturday.

Officials at Splash Universe's Wana Waves park in Shipshewana tell us a guest was transported to the hospital after some apparent troubles in the water.

The waterpark's general manager says the guest left the park breathing.

The incident is still under investigation, and we were not given any other details.

Meantime, it was another rough day on Lake Michigan.

We have been telling you about dangerous currents this summer, including an incident in New Buffalo where a family almost drowned.

The Berrien County Sheriff's Department tells us a boy is recovering after being pulled out in the lake off Weko Beach.

Officials say he was unresponsive when he was first pulled from the lake, but later gained consciousness.

The sheriff's department says more warnings have been issued for riptide currents this summer, and asks swimmers to use caution when enjoying the lake.
