Tragedy struck two brothers swiming at the Grotto at Bruce Peninsula National Park.
The brothers — ages 18 and 20 from Alliston — lost their lives while swimming there at about 12:30 PM on Saturday.
Police tell us the young men, along with a friend, were swimming back towards shore in heavy waves when they got into trouble.
One of the swimmers was brought to shore by a citizen at the scene and he was transported to the Lions Head Hospital with non life- threatening injuries.
The other two men were recovered by Police as well as personnel from the National Park and the Canadian Coast Guard.
The Coroner was called to the scene and pronounced the men deceased at the waters edge.
Bruce Peninsula OPP continue to investigate with the Coroner and assistance from Parks Canada personnel.
The names of the people involved are being withheld pending notification of the next of kin.
