Elvis the Wonder Dog

Elvis runs along the Lake Michigan shoreline, chasing after a toy in the water. The toy is 20 feet out from shore, at a point 50 feet along the shore from Elvis's starting point. Elvis can run much faster than he can swim. Where is the best place for him to leave the beach and jump into the water?
