He swam across the reservoir, the water on top, which is incredibly dangerous because the water current will suck you into the dam and kill you. Technically he swam in lake Mead but the lake is huge and considering how close he was to the dam itself, he was swimming in illegal waters that are more considered a part of Hoover dam than lake Mead as they dont allow boats/ people to get too close to the damn because it's too dangerous. At the point he was at its no longer considered lake mead its considered the Hoover damn. The title states he swam across it, not through it, it is concrete after all. He got fined around $300 for doing it.
