Endurance swimmer Diana Nyad was pulled from the water this morning, ending her historic Cuba-to-Florida swim.

63-year-old Nyad was attempting to become the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage. Her lips and tongue had become increasingly swollen overnight, puffing up because of salt water, and the health threat forced her to give up.

Ohmigod -- it looks like they got her out just in time.
