We have investigated the transitions Υ(3S)→π+π-Υ(1S) and Υ(3S)→π+π-Υ(2S) and the cascade process Υ(3S)→Υ(2S)+X, Υ(2S)→π+π-Υ(1S), both in the exclusive decay mode where the daughter Υ state decays into two leptons, and in the inclusive decay mode where the daughter Υ state decays hadronically. Results are presented on branching fractions and the properties of the π+π- system. Possible evidence for the transition Υ(3S)→π+π-Υ(11P1) is presented.
