LAUSANNE, Switzerland, April 22. TWO FINA open water swims scheduled to be held in Asia in June have been canceled because of the outbreak of the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) virus, a spokesman for the International Swimming Federation (FINA) said today.

Fears over the spread of SARS prompted FINA to cancel the Hong Kong Swimming Marathon on June 8 and the Hongfeng Lake Swimming Marathon, due to be held near Ginzheng City in China on June 15.
