Diana Nyad Arrives in Key West After 111-Mile Swim From Cuba

- KEY WEST, Fla. -- Endurance swimmer Diana Nyad walked ashore on Key West's Smathers Beach about 1:30 p.m. on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 2, 2013, becoming the first person to swim across the Florida Straits from Cuba to the Florida Keys without a shark cage.
"Never, ever give up," said the 64-year-old Nyad, her face swollen and salt-encrusted from the 111-mile swim that she had attempted four times previously. "You're never too old to chase your dreams."
She began the weekend's marathon in Havana at 8:59 a.m. Saturday and swam continuously for 52 hours and 54 minutes. Nearly 2,000 people greeted her with loud cheers and applause as she reached the beach and hugged her lead handler Bonnie Stoll, then lay down on a stretcher so medics could check her physical condition.
Nyad first attempted the Florida Straits crossing in 1978 when she was 28 years old. More than 30 years later, in 2011, she tried twice but was foiled by shoulder pain, a debilitating in-water asthma attack and multiple severe jellyfish stings.
During a 2012 attempt, she suffered multiple painful and debilitating stings from box jellyfish despite wearing a protective full-body suit each night.
She donned the suit, gloves and a specially crafted silicone face mask each night to protect her from jellyfish during this weekend's swim, and was accompanied by kayakers with electronic shark repelling devices.
While Nyad is the first person to swim across the Florida Straits from Cuba to the Florida Keys without a shark cage, Australian swimmer Susie Maroney accomplished the crossing with a cage in 1997.
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!!!
Please do reply does she stop for a rest for some time in boat between her journey or she swim it all in one go and how many time did she take to complete her journey coz my friends are making fun of me when I tell about this to them that nobody without taking a break can do that thing
@@_Since-1994I think she was in the water the whole time but people fed her and gave her water while she was in it
She did it without ever touching the boat. She was to be disqualified if anyone touched her. The people on the boat gave her food and water while she swam@@_Since-1994

Just watched the movie on Netflix and all the actors did an incredible job! Such an inspiration ❤
Annette’s performance she blew it out of the water !!!
The movie was awesome, incredible story ❤
She is a fraud
I hope Annette wins an Oscar for the movie. She was brilliant.
I just finished it! Amazing omg. Everyone killed their roles. I was tearing up and even though I know how it ends I was like come on! Come on! Excellent film. Absolutely loved it! ❤
I climbed a mountain yesterday 50 meters. Darn near passed out. My respects to this lady
thats a hill
You set yourself a goal and achieved it. Good for you.
With a 10-person support team around u, I bet
She's a fraud... the Netflix series was total BS its sad they promote that shit
I climbed a flight of stairs to my apartment today and nearly passed out. She’s a beast.
Imagine swimming across the sea while being bitten by jelly fish, and other sea creatures...and still making it to Florida...what an inspiration this woman is....AMAZING
....Jellyfish don’t bite

@@calebgarrison8357 yeah they dont bite they sting you
Who’s here after watching Nyad on Netflix? 🙋🏽♂️
So happy to see a feature film with two kick-ass women leading, Annette Benning and Jody Foster. Thank you, Diana, for listening to your heart and showing yourself, and the world, that where there's a will, there's a way. I hope Diana enjoys the limelight again with the movie.
Tears keep falling, I love what she said " never give up" she is a total inspiration.
Yes because no on else has ever said that. 😢
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!
@@joshuaramireznadie lo ha dicho después de cruzar nadando de Cuba a Usa
Great quote. How did she think of that
@@joshuaramirezother said that too, and?
She is a freaking beast. One of the most amazing things ever in endurance sports !
A man did it long before her. She also has 0 evidence of completing this swim
0 evidence? Haha @@ac-qd2cg

I met Diana Nyad last night at her book signing in St. Louis, and got a soul hand shake and a smooch/hug and a pic with her. She is beyond cool. I bought her book and she autographed it for me. she is a highly motivational speaker - Love it -- “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” ― Henry David Thoreau
Flat-earthers/antivaxxers/conservatives/climate deniers/trumpanzees/trumpvoters will claim Nyad's swim was all "fake" and that this is just an "actor" and that there is "no evidence she ever made the swim" and that "all the evidence Nyad made the swim was fake" and "everybody who was physically with her confirming her swim was just paid to lie". That is what conservatives say about everything achievement that requires hard sacrifice and work.
I remember my wife and I keeping the computer on all night, just so we could see updates when we got up. AMAZING!
That's awesome! I wish I'd known about it then.
What a beast. Against all odds.
Diana Nyad, who came into this world "with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men." Incredible. I followed her attempts years before and her accomplishing it at age 64 just astounded me! She has to be the greatest swimmer or athlete, for that matter.
*Michael phelps has entered the chat*
Did she swim across the English Channel?
@@Scarcity2010she swam from Cuba to Florida, much farther than the English Channel. She’s swam the equivalent of the English Channel many times over. Also the water is more treacherous in many ways, like the jellyfish and sharks
@@elljeltyPhelps has nothing on her
@@Scarcity2010she’s has the record for the English Channel swim.
Who would dislike this? Seriously? This is one of the most inspiring things I have ever seen. Just once, I would like to see unanimity on something that is so clearly ironclad and wonderful. I mean, this isn't about politics, religion, war, race, anything like that. I don't get it.
+Robert Ferguson I was thinking the same thing
Probably some people think there was some unfair play here. I sure thing hope all was honest. This is such an emotional moment and the effort that went into this is unimaginable.
Probably the fraud and continued refusal to address valid issues with her supposed accomplishment.
@@zydration3538why would they lie specifically on her 5th attempt lmao, 40+ people with her during the travel and they all said the same thing
@@dragonverde188 why does attempt number hold any relevance? Aside from lying being more likely after 4 failed attempts. There were no independent observers, as well as numerous gaps in the timeline.
This out of this world impressive. It’s not even the distance but the sheer dynamic of the ocean who’d make it seem like that completely impossible to pull off let alone by a 64 year old woman.
Came here after watching NYAD on Netflix. What an incredible achievement.
im crying its so wonderfull.. mind over matter.. damn
never give up
May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today. I'm Dr. Manuel Sanmiguel
This must have been very scary for her. All that screaming after that gigantic journey. But she seems pumped and thankful. Good for her!!! This is amazing xo
Here after the movie ❤
Wow, she really shows that you're never too old to give up on your dream from 30 years ago. I hope she'll recover and show us more incredible things. Wow.
She recovered just fine; what you see here is mostly just exhaustion and the result of being repeatedly stung by jellyfish.
She didn't achieve anything it is not recognised by any marathon swimming governing body worldwide and the Guinness world record to not recognise it as she has no evidence she completed the swim.
She is definitely one of my favorite people. She's incredible and deserves another life of the greatest passions for living.
I have just watched the film on Netflix! Truly inspirational! Well done Diana!! 💜
Just watched the movie, what a human, what a friend and what a story!
The only person in the world who has found a team that could help her completed the swim ever, the longest swim ever accomplished.
The greatest inspiration
I just watched the Netflix movie about her- twice. It was so good. So inspirational! She's amazing!
Same👍
A true legend and a feat that is speaks volumes about what "never give up" means. Hats off!
I just watched this movie the inspiration to live life it just gave me I’m really crying watching this at 4:19am
I heard there’s gonna be a movie about this. I’m excited for it but no movie can ever do justice as much as this woman has done she is inspirational and she is one of my heroes. If there’s something you’re searching for doing just do it and don’t give up that’s what I love about her.
Netflix recently released the trailer for NYAD. Annette Bening and Jodie Foster are the main characters:)
It's a great film!
Wonderful movie👏
I just watched it! It was amazing
The movie is incredible. It's what brought me here. Nyad is phenomenal. Absolutely inspiring.
You are never too old to chase your dream! Bless her for saying that.
WHAT A PURE BAD ASS!!!!
Who else was here from Tyler video Cuba to Florida

Lol me

This is truly the most inspirational thing I have ever seen in a very long time. Congrats Diana. You're simply the best.
An amazing accomplishment at any age and to be in the ocean all those hours is testament to the will and perseverance she has. Only happened upon this post and I'm glad I did. Thanks for posting it.
I literally almost cried. I heard of this happening and I’m currently listening to her conversations with Oprah on Super soul Sunday podcast and I had to see this. I can still feel tears welling up in my throat. Congratulations on such a triumph.
After accomplishing that feat, she's talking with Oprah? What a contradiction.
Such an inspiration!!! Congratulations Diana for following your dream and NEVER giving up!!!

Just finished watching the movie and cried like a baby when she walked out of the water. So humbling to see any human complete such a feat. The human spirit seem limitless when you witness something like this. What a woman and what a team behind her.
Just watched Nyad on Netflix. What an incredible story
For anyone who wants to see the emotion and the journey to get there, watch the immensely beautiful film adaptation. These are films that today's young people should watch and not all so-called influencers promoting cosmetics! This is movie is beautiful, inspiring and motivating. We humans can achieve anything, as long as we are willing to keep looking at ourselves, dreams and goals! Enjoyed it immensely, cried and laughed with happiness. What a worldly woman. The actors and their team have created this beautifully.
Shouldn't today's young people be taught the value of honesty, along with the far older people in this video and the Netflix lifetime drivel producers?
Este video me hizo llorar (literalmente) de felicidad. Una hazaña extraordinaria la de esta impresionante mujer.
Una inspiración.
Veré este video cada vez que tenga duda de mi.
Es maravilloso! Es una gran inspiracion para quienes estamos intentando alcanzar algo en la vida, que nunca se es demasiado viejos, que siempre persistas, que no te rindas, es maravilloso!
sin palabras no dejo de llorar DIos le bendiga. No hay sueños imposibles se lo hacemos de corazon
When I m feeling sorry for myself I think of this woman. What makes her tick Most incredible thing I v heard in many many years. Inspiring just doesn’t seem enough. 💪🏽👍🏼❤️🙏🏼
Right?? I want some of that!!
Truly inspiring!
@@80snewromatic you have it already!!! get out and find it
Just an amazing accomplishment. Thank you for the footage. The MSM just totally blew the coverage on this amazing feat. They should be ashamed. A hero in every sense of the word. Congratulations Ms. Nyad.
What an inspiration! Never give up! Thank you, Diana
You’re so amazing, I just cried when saw this video. You show us how Incredible a human can be🙏 thankyou so much!
I needed to hear those three precious words never give up she will forever be an inspiration to me bless her forever ❤ thank you Diana Nyad!
It's her determination that I admire most. I'm her age almost to the day, and she inspires me to never give up your dream. Now, Diana's my image of a hero.

What a beautiful story and noble accomplishment! WAY TO GO GIRL!
Such an inspiration ❤ watching her movie now!
the movie is amazing ... Such a beautiful accomplishment
Wow.. I can't stop my tears..
I just watch and listen her on ted talks giving speech about never give and After watching this video makes it more inspirational. The moment she said that never ever give up, made me realize that in life we are capable of doing things. Truly, powerful woman!
What’s really incredible, is that a few years roll by as she fails four times, and then makes it! Blows my mind, fills my heart and soul, inspired for rest of my life.
Great footage, Steve
Looking at this I got knots in my throat and tears in my eyes and I realized that true determination is when not even death itself could stand between you and your goals.
This lady is an absolute UNIT! My god!
Amazing, Inspiring. Nice to see some good news for a change.
Indescribable- what a force she is. Just watched the NYAD film on uk 🇬🇧 Netflix and cried at the strength, determination and courage this woman has. If I only had a tiny bit of what this lady has, I’d be a better person every day. Also, an amazing best friend in Bonnie….and a fantastic team who stayed by her side when everyone else deserted her and her dreams. Bravo NYAD 🎉❤xxx
Congratulations, Nyad!❤ You'are strong!
this makes me cry! wow awesome
Impresa incredibile, una eroina vera, sei grande Nyad ❤❤❤

What a brave lady!
Very inspirational! She did Not give up 🥹
NEVER GIVE UP YOUR DRAMS . I LOVE THIS AMAZING
This video brought tears to my eyes. Congrats, the media makes such a big deal about having taken 5 tries. Every time I think about it, I see a woman that kept going never accepting defeat that completed what she started at the age of 28....wtg Diana!!!
She’s so brave especially when she’s 60 years old if she can do that anyone can do anything
this sends chills up my spine. Can't wait to see the new movie.
#fearlessnyad
#nevergiveup
Amazing and incredible feat and an incredible woman. She is so inspiring to me, even as a man! ❤️. Poor thing is so tired here but she made it! ❤️❤️
That's pretty awesome! what a great effort.
Just saw the inspirational movie of her! ❤ perfectly casted both Diane and Bonnie
Amazing video 😌🙃😍😍
she had a TED talk saying she will eventually do this amazing
May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today. I'm Dr. Manuel Sanmiguel
This is absolutely beyond words, this takes strength beyond what humans are capable of. And of course we live in a sad world where humans don’t want to see people like Diana succeed and make the story controversial such bastards can’t breathe when certain type of people make history. We are with u Diana, even the pigs on the street don’t approve it. You are an inspiration for perseverance and self belief. Thank you ❤
Amazing film based on fact...very good that I watched it...unbelievable what a person same age as me 66 can achieve ❤ wonderful x
Maybe I don't have it so bad...
I'll never give up Diana 🥺, amazing woman.
i heard about her in a book called the thing about jellyfish and this moment in history is in it
