The trial of a 22 year old Sydney swimming instructor will now be forced to restart, after the jury was discharged by NSW District Court Judge Kara Shead, on the second day of trial.
The jury had been assembled this week ahead of a five-week trial but a new jury will now be selected in its place and the trial is expected to resume later this week.
It's a rare occurrence, and the reasons for the jury's dismissal in this particular trial cannot be disclosed for legal reasons.

Twenty-two year old Kyle Daniels is accused of inappropriately touching young female swim students. He has pleaded not guilty to 26 charges relating to nine complainants who say they were sexually abused at the Mosman Swim Centre between 2018 and 2019 where he was a part-time swimming coach.
