    The swimming section of a paratriathlon test event for Tokyo 2020 was canceled Saturday due to high levels of bacteria in the water, the latest in a series of difficulties over water quality and temperature.

    The International Triathlon Union (ITU) shelved the swimming leg after tests showed levels of e-coli more than double the acceptable standard.

    Here is another detailed video of my step-by-step guide to mastering the tumble turn, or as some people call it, a flip turn.

    I’ve been teaching these for years and have noticed that some clients find it pretty overwhelming at the start, which is why I have broken this video up into stages.

    Don’t move to the next stage until you have comfortably mastered the previous stage. Also, don’t be concerned if you get some water up your nose one the first few tries…that’s normal. Just make sure you are blocking your nose or blowing air out your nose as your turn.

    So try out these tips and I’m sure it will really help you improve or learn the tumble turn.

    Hey, hey, ho, ho Coach Beth should not go.

    Balloons, a petition, and signs of support, all for Beth Cholish.

    Families gathered outside the greater Scranton YMCA, protesting the former swimming coach’s resignation.

    “It just feels like Coach Beth was treated so unfairly that she could not even exist so she had to resign,” John Swarts of Greenfield Township said.
