Cuba-to-Florida swimmer says she is 'through with the ocean'

(Reuters) - The 64-year-old American woman who swam 110 miles (177 km) from Cuba to Florida vowed on Tuesday to raise money for hurricane, bombing and tornado victims with endurance swims in a pool, saying, "I am through with the ocean."

Diana Nyad, speaking on U.S. television networks, said she would continue making long-distance swims in a portable pool to be installed in New York. She pledged to swim 48 hours on October 8-10 to raise money for people left homeless last year by Hurricane Sandy.
