Out of options, Olympic officials drain green pool for synchronised swimmersAmerican diver Abby Johnston has dubbed it "the swamp." Olympic officials gave up on cleaning the green-tinged water in one of the pools at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre. Some divers have said the green water actually helps them during competition by giving them a contrast with the blue sky when they're spinning through the air. Andrada stressed that Rio officials had been able to solve myriad issues plaguing the Games, but conceded they were out of short-term options when it came to the green water. Rio officials are also dealing with another aquatics venue mishap.
