Diana Nyad Historic Swim from Cuba to Florida: 'The Journey Was Thrilling'

The 64-year-old discusses her historic 110-mile swim from Cuba to Key West.

[@marasimonson1075]

Here after watching "NYAD" on Netflix. Incredible story!

[@darlenecarruthers-shelton837]

This is a great message from Ms. Nyad to us "You Never too old to chase your dreams" NEVER GIVE UP!

[@tomygun196]

RESPECT FOR THIS WOMAN!!

[@DoMo1012000]

she earned it, and im so happy for her. True amazingness

[@djRoyalTee]

Do you realize that you are looking at 2 of the most amazing women alive today? Robin & Diana..simply amazing!

[@maryowen8291]

Robin… what has she done that makes her so Amazing?

[@jeremythomas3064]

Such an inspiration. There is absolutely no scrap of proof that this was unauthentic, and from my studies of Nyad she is such a driven and motivated person that I have absolutely no doubt in my young soldier's mind and heart that she was able to do this.

[@JoeGator23]

You haven't really looked, now have you?

[@jb8683]

Wtf does your stupid young soldier mind mean this tuna spanker has admittedly lies multiple times in her career

[@alanna4148]

Amazing interview and inspiring person she is .. can’t believe I’m watching it 10 years after it was uploaded.. I’m going to watch the Nyad movie about her on Netflix because my family recommended me to watch it ♥️♥️🙏

[@meeraviktoriacsepregi3954]

Just have watched it, a good movie!

[@bellavita3097]

"Find a way" amen what an incredible human hats off.

[@dr.manuelsanmiguel9296]

Yeah. May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today. I'm Dr. Manuel Sanmiguel, how about you?

[@siqili204]

I cried after I watched the Netflix

[@hugoiglesias8069]

Oh! Diana, i am cuban american i am very proud of you!!!, every cuban, every american, every person on this planet should be proud of you. We love you, i wanted to be waiting for you at the Florida beach and hug you.

[@Sweetchocolatecake]

What a amazing feat .I’m in such awe .She deserves such credit on this amazing swim 👍💯

[@dickturpin1815]

What she said about the mental / psychological attitude is so true. I always found it amazing that after Roger Banister broke the 4 minute mile which many around that time thought the human body wasn't capable to doing such, within 18 months, some 30 people broke the 4 minute mile after Bannister. The whole thing was a psychological barrier and nothing to do with physical limitations.

[@CarolBurke-ig2lb]

That's wonderful Diane!

[@MadonnaJulio1]

All inspiring!! Godspeed!! Love you Diana & Bonnie!!!

[@sam7748]

The greatest athlete. Period!

[@jkstubbington]

I LOVE YOU DIANA!!! You are an INSPIRATION for generations to come!!!! BLESS YOU🙏♥️🙏♥️

[@terrikaye12114]

🙌FIND A WAY🙌! Words to live by and last tattoo! I have been seriously looking for the final words to ink my body and now I have it! THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSPIRATION! When you were doing this I was as battling breast cancer and have waited for the words that were need to say! And find a way to express just what it means to not only when the race but accept the journey and embrace it and get through whatever is in front of you that day as simple as taking your dog for a walk when you don’t want to but are so darn glad you did!👏👏

[@Venusmindtrap]

Diana, so beautiful you are! Definitely did not look 64 years old! I love watching and reading your story.

[@espilovesmusic]

Very inspirational! You rock!

[@janenewkirk4611]

She's a dynamic beautiful person and an inspiration!

[@Helenesommerconsulent]

[@SpiritsBB]

Thanks Diana Nyad

[@beans0119]

diane u motivate me in 2019!!!!

[@adamzaidi1748]

Usually I always have some smart ass negative comment ,but really what the hell can I even say. That is absolutely impressive and incredible. And it's not necessarily the 111 miles that strikes me as incredible and brave which of course is ,but it's the fact that she did it in waters notorious for the very high concentration of sharks within those waters. Absolutely "Jaws" dropping! Haha get it Jaws! I have no life.

[@trwent]

“Usually I always …” is an oxymoron.

[@joanwilson45]

What a remarkably inspiring lady!

[@eianlis]

Wow very strong 💪🏼 woman ! 👏🏼👏🏼

Love you Diana. Mt. Webb said. Nothing great is easy. So true in your case. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@sarahdomergue2836]

Super cette interview dans le sens ou il faut jamais abandonner ses rêves. On a tendance à abandonner trop facilement, ce qui est dommage dans la vie. Merci pour l'incitation au courage dans la vie.

[@Tan10421]

I will try to influence the world like she did one day! Like if you will also.

[@togiles]

That is a special, special woman. A true and living SuperHero(ine)

[@phantomvibrationsX]

she did the swim i rewatched the same special just now about her preparation with mixed up segments of practice making it look like she got on boat to rest. that one confusing segment was her ending a 24 hour practice swim. she did not do her swim by secretly getting on the boat to rest and eat. also that would be a preposterous lie to try to pull off--she did the swim

[@user-vm8ut7iw2i]

Looking inside n seeing what your made of💪🏼❤️

[@Lightc11]

Amazing 👏 🙀 😯 😮

[@DanFrechette]

My hero

[@gailnovak2593]

She’s right you never give up.

[@tedstrauss999]

I found this interview to be quite condescending to Ms. Nyad. After what she accomplished, you should give her 5 minutes to speak freely on whatever subject she chooses. She has earned the world's respect and attention.

[@trwent]

That is absurd.

[@tulayamalavenapi4028]

Diana NYAD "While she swims she remembers Stephen Hawking books, sings, counts numbers, and has vivid hallucinations of The Wizard of Oz and the yellow brick road." She had $500,000 in expenses & a 30 person team. Nyad is a lesbian, and an atheist, but her mind was not on her female friend nor on God. I am not quite sure what makes her brand of determination so heroic. Non-believers relish this fanaticism. The tyrant of North Korea also has fabulous determination to be a controller. And the believers always get chastised and criticized and condemned for having determination to serve God. Is there not a risk of these swimmers taking an aquatic species body in their next birth? Her childhood sexual abuse is a tragedy, yet these horrible things do not necessarily destroy the soul in every instance, nor prohibit ultimately the soul from reuniting with God. Who then, is the killer of soul? Sri Isopanisad 3, Translation and Purport: The killer of the soul, whoever he may be, must enter into the planets known as the worlds of the faithless, full of darkness and ignorance. Human life is distinguished from animal life due to its heavy responsibilities. Those who are cognizant of these responsibilities and who work in that spirit are called suras (godly persons), and those who are neglectful of these responsibilities or who have no information of them are called asuras (demons). Throughout the universe there are only these two types of human being. In the Ṛg Veda it is stated that the suras always aim at the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord Viṣṇu and act accordingly. Their ways are as illuminated as the path of the sun. 💛⚡🌞 Prabhupāda: It is a soul-killing civilization. We have to fight against it, to save at least a few men. Room Conversation With David Lawrence -- July 12, 1973, London Saubhari Ṛṣi was engaged in austerity while submerged deep within the River Yamunā. SB 4.30.39-40, Translation and Purport The Āryans never maintain slaughterhouses, and they are never enemies of poor animals. The Pracetās underwent severe austerities for many, many years, even within the water. Accepting austerities and penances is the avowed business of those interested in advanced civilization. The word nirandhasām means "without food." Eating voraciously and unnecessarily is not the business of an Āryan. Rather, the eating process should be restricted as far as possible. When Āryans eat, they eat only prescribed eatables. Diana has a human body, the most opportune position on the planet to have the chance to overcome the horrible suffering, like the stings of the box jellyfish, which cause pain to everyone, atheists included. We can think and reason with a powerful brain, and act with a kind heart towards our fellow creatures and all humankind. I'd rather be a lazy lover of the Supreme Lord than an active atheist. Now if I could have a chat with Diana, she would hear what to do to get free from the problems of life, no matter how far out one's accomplishment has been. What if God is not impressed, because He has taken the time to give her life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but she discredits the Supreme Godhead. What if God could honestly whisper in her ear, that He is the creator and maintainer of the universe, and challenge Diana to create and maintain such a vast variety of life, so many natural wonders, or even a tiny bumblebee that can fly and collect pollen and make honey. Can any one of us create such amazing things? So why be overly proud?

[@nerdguy9205]

The amazing part is she looks totally different after few months of achieving this feat you can see her interview and ted talks. She looks totally different person there.

[@Shaara1]

This is the way to approach 60!!! ...not to believe that you only good for baking apple pie and knit while watching tv.

[@trwent]

Women? Besides Diana, which other women are you referring to?

[@thepowerofpositivity8075]

Just saw NYAD movie

[@davidmurray7668]

WORSHIP TO YOU Diana. The prescribed number of times to recite a mantra in Hinduism to say something over and over again, something you want, like a thousand dollars, is you while the sun is up each day chant the thing you want (one word if you want) 1,008 times (WITHOUT stopping) for 45 days, and it should take effect in 30 to 90 days. She said she used the mantra 'find a way', one thing people can do is chant at least 108 times a day WHILE the sun is up, "Find a way".

[@MARKCUTS]

Netflix bring me here salute to you 🫡

[@user-kl1wr7ez8p]

you mean to tell me she did at 64 yeas of age?????????

[@MyHeart1955]

I’m 67 and I won’t attempt it - no prior experience, so there’s that, but let me tell ya, I’ll bet she doesn’t suffer from sciatica pain which can be EXcruciating. If you know you can do it, do it; if you know you can’t, don’t, and don’t feel bad that you cannot, that’s okay.

[@itzmealii]

Her face beat tf up😂😂

[@RoboTekno]

And to think whales and other marine mammals have evolved to do this 24/7 every day of their lives. Congrats to her! :D

isnt it illegal to go from florida to cuba or vice versa?

Isn’t this a great teaching moment for those looking to get to “America - land of the “free” and home of the “brave”…..suuuuuuuure.

hello, who is the interviewer Robin? she seems important

[@fidgetmuffin]

She is the most incredible interviewer, period, in history.

[@bruhmilk]

Anyone inspired in 2021?

[@GetRhythm2011]

So, what happened with Robin that she can identify with overcoming and never giving up?

[@lovinglanguages1]

Robin just completed a grueling chemotherapy for breast cancer and then a few months after, came down with a life threatening blood illness, Myelodysplastic Syndrome as a result of her chemo, in which she had to have her immune system destroyed to receive a bone marrow transplant from her sister.

[@astinjacobo4717]

plenty of people have done that just never documented

[@DTWITCH559]

Fucking hater 😂

[@101perspective]

Someone must have given her some advice. Because she did a rather good job in this interview. Other interviews I've seen of her this woman came off sounding EXTREMELY self centered... praising herself and junk like that. While I feel she has earned that right, IMO it just made her look bad. Yeah, you're great... we get it... that's kind of what I was thinking throughout her other interviews. This one, however, she sounds more inspirational... someone you want your kids to look up to.

[@FREAKINRICAN169]

Is that a woman or man?

[@bernadaalkan8909]

Woman 💪👏

[@tom41554]
