ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The universities of Tennessee and Virginia pulled out of a two-day tri-meet Wednesday at the University of Michigan that was scheduled for Friday and Saturday due to concerns over pool safety, according to Michigan Swimming and Diving.

Following previous reports of a common waterborne illness, we collaborated with the University of Michigan Environment, Health & Safety office on a thorough set of procedures to test and clean the water at Canham Natatorium."
