If I'm not mistaken, any boat/PWC driver who buzzes a group of swimmers is committing assault with a deadly weapon (the craft.) Should he/she actually strike someone it would then become assault and battery. That's the way the criminal courts often play it for drivers on land.

I hope you alerted Marine Patrol of the situation.
