A privately registered float-equipped Zenair CH701SP, had departed the Catchacoma Marina for a training flight, with an instructor and the student pilot/aircraft owner on board. After conducting some airwork in the vicinity of Catchacoma Lake, the instructor planned to demonstrate a landing on glassy water. During the approach, the aircraft unexpectedly contacted the water with a relatively high rate of descent, and the aircraft overturned. Both occupants exited the aircraft and were uninjured and were rescued by nearby boaters. The floats of the aircraft had become mostly detached, and the aircraft eventually sank. It was later recovered from the lake and is substantially damaged.
