Swimmers have expressed frustration about conditions online and in the media, although Olympics officials insist the water is safe to swim in.
Now here's Rio 2016 spokesman Mario Andrada explaining the delay in fixing the water.
"Chemistry is not an exact science," he said. "Some things, as you can see, went longer than expected."
