What a joke. Swimming SA just cancelled day 2 of World Champ Trials bc of a green pool.

The pool for World Champ Trials is so dirty swimmers who prepared for 9+ months can't see the wall or bottom of the pool

This comes after a day in which this happened...
Olympic gold medallist Darian Townsend has told me that due to #SwimmingSA's financial woes he's unlikely to represent his country again.

South African swimming came out of London 2012 smelling of roses off the back of golds from Cameron van der Burgh and Chad le Clos, but less than a year later it is struggling through a severe financial crisis that is forcing their athletes to pay for their own flights to the World Championships in Barcelona.
