SA Swimming Nationals called off for a second day─── 11:40 Wed, 17 Apr 2013
The SA Swimming Nationals have been called off for a second straight day at the Newton Park Indoor Swimming Centre in Port Elizabeth.
It has been postponed to 6pm tomorrow evening and will no-longer serve as a World Cup qualifer.
EP Swimming officials say the water is still green with a high chlorine content making the pool unsuitable for swimming.
Problems began on Sunday when a water pump burst and South Africa's top swimmers had to swim in a green pool on Monday.
Swimming was called off yesterday, shortly after the warm-ups began.
It is understood that there was a new problem with the water pipe serving as the main feeder into the pool this morning. This resulted in water being cut-off to the toilets at the Newton Park Swimming Pool.
