It is understood turbines close to where Mr Hughes was swimming were not on when he was in the water on 8 August.

He was arrested at the scene and fined $330 (£250). His ticket issued by Nevada police lists the offence as: "Jumping, diving, swimming from dam's spillways or other structures."

Mr Hughes has said that he has no regrets over the incident but that he did not realise swimming at the landmark was an offence as he did not see any signs.
