Olympic Swimmer Diana Nyad on swimming from Cuba to the US

After four failed attempts, Diana Nyad emerged onto the shores of Key West, Florida, after completing a 110-mile, fifty-three-hour, record-breaking swim through shark-infested waters from Cuba. Why, at age 64, was she able to achieve what she could not as a young Olympian? She shares her unforgettable journey - physical, spiritual, emotional, psychological -a triumphant tale about facing fears, following a passion, and living life with no regrets. A sports broadcaster filing for NPR, Fox Sports, ABC’s Wide World of Sports, and the New York Times, Nyad is one of our most compelling storytellers.

FYI, the title says Diana Nyad is an Olympic swimmer. Despite her amazing accomplishments, making it to the Olympics was not one of them.

Diana Nyad was not an Olympic Swimmer. She is not listed on the Olympic list of swimmers. She was never on the Olympic team. Good swimmer? Yes. Olympic swimmer? No.
