Nyad on Sunday


American endurance swimmer Diana Nyad , 61, swims in Cuban waters, offshore Havana, Cuba, Sunday, Aug. 7, 2011. Nyad jumped into Cuban waters Sunday evening and set off in a bid to become the first person to swim across the Florida Straits without the aid of a shark cage. Early Tuesday, wind conditions and "less than ideal currents" prompted the marathon swimmer to end her second bid to swim from Cuba to the Florida Keys about halfway through her journey.(AP Photo/Franklin Reyes)
