(Reuters) - Scottish Swimming has apologised to its aquatic community after an online training session with its elite athletes was crashed by a 'zoom-bomber', who subjected around 300 participants to "disturbing content" on Tuesday.

The event was hosted on video conferencing application Zoom, which has faced a backlash from users worried about the lack of end-to-end encryption of meeting sessions and 'zoombombing', where uninvited guests gain entry and disrupt proceedings.
