East Carolina University is investigating an incident involving its swimming and diving team, officials confirmed Thursday afternoon.

The nature of the incident is unclear, but all of the team’s activities are on hold until the university concludes the investigation, said Tom McClellan, a spokesperson for the university.

McClellan declined to provide further details. “Until we are in a position of knowledge, it would be inappropriate to offer additional comments,” he said.

University officials became aware of the incident on Friday, WITN reported.
