I believe he went swimming. According to this article:

She added: “On Wednesday, April 23, Petey parked his car by the Allegria Hotel in Long Beach, New York. He locked his car, took a towel, and around 10:30 p.m. walked onto the beach to exercise, just as he had done many times before. He has always been in great shape and has many future plans, including participating in a triathlon. He was not a stranger to cold water training.“

There is a lot of messaging about Petros' disappearance on social media. But I haven't seen any reports on search efforts on any clues not already reported in news sources. If he drowned it seems like his body would have surface by now, unless it was washed out to sea.

There is a FB from his sister listing search locations and times.

I saw this on the news today. Very sad, he has been described as very bright and good guy, and had a bright future ahead.
There's the possibility he was taken by a shark. Sharks are known to come into shallow waters near shore at night, when it's peak hunting time for them. And he was alone, more dangerous to appear as prey.
But then I'd expect he would have known that since apparently he often trained at night. Or maybe, since he's never encountered one before, he felt safe.
We generally think of Florida waters, but sharks are also present in NY.

Sharks

Sharks have existed in New York's marine waters for millions of years. They are apex predators, which means they are at the top of the food chain and have few natural predators.
