Postponed World Championships open water swimming events set to go ahead after water quality review
SINGAPORE — Open water swimming at the World Championships is set to start a day late following two delays in Singapore because of 'water quality levels exceeding acceptable thresholds.'
World Aquatics and locals organizers issued a statement Wednesday saying the women's and men's 10-kilometer events would start in the afternoon.
Organizers said analysis of water quality samples collected late Tuesday met standards for the competition to begin.
