They have officially announced that the problem was algae. And even tho this made it difficult for the swimmers to see the bottom of the pool, "it posed no risk to the athletes." ???

This is disgusting. The algae alone may not be harmful, maybe. But what it does to the water is it changes the chemistry of the water just enough to allow for other "things" to thrive. eeww

Rio 2016: Green Olympic diving pool is ‘safe’ according to officials, but experts say they wouldn’t swim in it

So, they are saying it's algea maybe it is but I'm left wondering why the pool directly adjacent to it is unaffected.

maybe they are on two separate systems and the "green pool" is the only one that has system problems? i am sure we will be hearing more about this.

It is a safety issue. These games should not be taking place. I'm positive there are plenty of higher ups holding their breath. It'll be something of a miracle if there are no big disasters.
