Urgent tests are being carried out on the Commonwealth Games swimming pools in Delhi after a number of athletes were struck down with a stomach virus.
As many as 22 swimmers from the England and Australian teams have fallen ill and it is thought the quality of water at the aquatic centre could be to blame.
About 20% of the England swimming squad - about eight to 10 competitors, including Rebecca Adlington and Fran Halsall - were affected.
On Thursday, Halsall wrote on Twitter: "Tummy still not fab this am, very very hard to get out of bed.
"I hope the piece of bread I had for tea gets me through the heats."
An Australian swim team spokesman said 12 of their athletes were also suffering stomach problems.
One Australian competitor has returned home, while two others had to pull out of their Thursday heats.
