Two Teenage Boys Drown in Md. State Park

Now this is a strange one. This is a sad ending that I do not understand. if these two teens were with adults on a boat, and as I understand this article the adults in the boat called to say the teens were struggling in the water? Do I understand this right?
If that being the case why in the world didn't the boaters pull the teens out of the water?
Something ain't right here. Stay tuned for more than we are hearing on this one.

Article from WBOC;

ABERDEEN, Md. (AP) - Authorities say two teenage males drowned while swimming in the Gunpowder River on Saturday afternoon.
The teens were on a boating excursion with adults when they drowned. Authorities say the boaters made an emergency call to report the two were having trouble swimming in the water off the Hammerman beach area at Gunpowder Falls State Park.
Police from nearby Aberdeen Proving Ground were involved in the search. George Mercer, a spokesman for the federal facility, says the teens' bodies were found late Saturday night in federal waters.
Their ages were estimated at between 17 and 19 years old. Aberdeen Proving Ground police are handling the investigation into their deaths.

Maybe the adults couldn't swim either?

it says the adults were in a boat, I'm wondering why they didn't take the boat over to help the boys.
I doesn't make sense.

Quite often people panic in water. But...why were there not life jackets to throw to the kids?
