Here is a good article on the ceremony at Midway. I flew a Military Historical tour there with about 130 people, including two of the Midway vets. We spent 8 hours there and attended the ceremony.

Raptor- Here is a photo I took of Midway on June 4th. The closer Island (East Island) still has the original runways.

This is Bill T. whom was on the USS Hornet at Midway-

I didn't go swimming but typically the aqua blue portions of a lagoon are pretty shallow like 1' - 30'. They did have a beautiful swimming beach there and you could see Manta Rays, green turtles, and a couple Monk Seals.
