Body of 72-Year-Old Swimmer Recovered Off Mar del Plata After Intensive Search

A prosecutor has opened a case to determine the cause of death.

Overview

  • The man entered the sea at Cabo Corrientes mid-morning, an act captured by a nearby security camera at Paseo Jesús de Galíndez and Alem.
  • An acquaintance called 911 after losing sight of him, prompting a multi-hour search by Prefectura Naval Argentina and municipal beach teams.
  • A fishing vessel spotted the body roughly 1,700 meters offshore near the Banquina de los Pescadores, and Prefectura brought it to port.
  • Local outlets identified the victim as Aldo José Reginatto, originally from Quilmes and known for frequent ocean swims in Mar del Plata.
  • Municipal beach-safety coordinator Marcelo Zanetti said internal coastal currents likely carried the body south of the expected drift.
