Oly Rush was due to set off for the swim around the coast of the Greek island of Ithaca on Monday.
A former plasterer's non-stop swim around a Greek island to raise money to clear up marine litter has been held up by stormy weather."There's thunderstorms and lightning, it wouldn't be safe to be out on the water", he said.He hopes to start on Friday or Saturday once the storm had passed.
The swim, a record attempt to be the fastest person to lap the island, means he has to stay in the water and cannot come into contact with anyone. He said he hoped to complete the swim in the Ionian Sea which he expects to pose some problems, including jellyfish, with spotters on his support boat looking out for them.
