Swimmer Steve set to take third splash at feat

Extreme swimmer Steve Redmond is considering a third attempt to become the first person to complete the epic Seven Oceans challenge after ferocious tides forced him to abandon the last leg in Japan yesterday.

Steve spent an incredible 13 hours in the treacherous 17-mile Tsuguru Strait over Sunday night and Monday morning.

He spent eight of those hours battling strong tides before his support team made the difficult decision yesterday morning to abandon the attempt.
