A 62-year-old US woman has had to halt her attempt to become the first person to swim from Cuba to the US without a shark cage.
Diana Nyad was pulled from the water on Tuesday morning, US media reported. She had hoped to reach Florida on Tuesday, ahead of her 63rd birthday on Wednesday.
Overnight Ms Nyad's team had reported that they had been held up by a squall.
This was Ms Nyad's fourth attempt at the crossing.
