“Searches by the police continue,” the club said in a statement on its website, as Reuters reported. “We are very concerned and have not given up the hope that everything will turn out well.”
While the club said she'd been swimming, the Italian news agency Ansa reported that she dove off of a boat she'd rented with a friend and never resurfaced, according to The Associated Press.
