Description:
Diana Nyad born August 22, 1949 is an American author, journalist, motivational speaker, and long-distance swimmer. Nyad gained national attention in 1975 when she swam around Manhattan (28 mi or 45 km) in record time, and in 1979 when she swam from Bimini, The Bahamas, to Juno Beach, Florida (102 mi or 164 km).
I was a shark diver on that trip to Cuba with dyana. I swam with her at 4 am in 3ft seas in 1600ft of water the night before. When she came to the beach I was directly behind her to her right with blue board shorts and white shirt. She was unbelievable!!! What an inspiration!!!
