The rescuers made their way out over the rock jetty and partially waded into the water to pull the man to shore and used a rescue stokes basket to carry him up a embankment to a waiting ambulance. He was transported to Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital with possible hypothermia. He was later reported to be in stable condition. A Halton police marine unit officer on scene estimated the water temperature to be around 40 F (5 C) this time of year and that hypothermia can set in in less than 20 minutes.
