Saw this on twitter and didn’t see anything further about it here:

Article says he suffered a heart attack while swim training and had to be revived. Was taken to hospital via helicopter.
Very scary stuff… hope he is ok

thank you for sharing. he and Andrea stayed in San Diego a few days after the ITU event last year for our Fearless PRO race and he was a gentleman off-the-course and a lion on course. wishing him a full recovery.

Scary stuff - hope the best for him and Andrea Hewitt. The potential life changes are daunting, I’m sure.
