Swimmer Nyad completes 35 year swim from Cuba in Key West!

Diana Nyad completes 110 endurance swim from Cuba to Key West

“I have three messages. 

One is we should never, ever give up. 

Two is you never are too old to chase your dreams. 

Three is it looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team.” 

Diana Nyad

Endurance Swimmer from Cuba to Key West, FLA  

Kyakers escort Nyad's swim   

This was Nyad's 5th and finally successful swim in a 35 year chase for the record to do the swim without a shark cage.  Who possibly knows what drives people toward what records--certainly more than to be in the Guiness Book!  Life stretches out before us, and we have the choice what the race shall be and why we choose to do it in the first place.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded 

by such a great cloud of witnesses, 

let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin 

that so easily entangles. 

And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."

Hebrews 12:2
