ATLANTA (AP) — USA Swimming has moved a pre-Olympic training camp out of Puerto Rico because of the Zika virus.
There are no plans to bail on the Summer Games in Brazil, even though that country has been the epicenter of the outbreak.
Frank Busch, the U.S. national team director, sent a letter Thursday to all national team athletes and coaches telling them of the change. The camp will now be held in Atlanta instead of Puerto Rico in late July.
"As part of our preparations for the Olympic Games this summer, we have been closely monitoring the current situation with the Zika virus," Busch wrote in his letter, which was obtained by The Associated Press.
