ID for snake needed

[HerpHunter77]

Hey, hguys, i was taking a vacation in Ocracoke, NC last week, and by our dock, i spotted a snake swimming throught the water on the surface. I didnt see it well. It had dark brown and/or back on it. It appearad to be about 1 foot long. Any ideas of what it was?
