Her perseverance at 64 years old as ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

She was supervised and could have chosen to be taken out of the water but didn't do so.... Absolute determination, not just a survival instinct. Incredible.

I worked a job once for 40 hours straight. Took days to recover. I can't imagine swimming for 55 hours straight. She's a true GOAT!

You shouldn't criticize her, but rather admire her. Never give up is her message. A simple, friendly message. Can't you respect that?

this women is unbelievably amazing i don’t have words, the amount of lives she’s impacted for her perseverance. She didn’t just reach her goal she changed the hearts of people and the world around her, amazing

Diana Nyad is an amazing person. swimming without stopping and even having to go to the hospital after her swim form Cuba to Florida. AMAZING. 😊

What a trooper...the power of the mind over body.

"push cuba back" and "pull florida towards you" if there are any demigoddesses among us, moving the world/humanity forward, that show a glimmer of what each is capable of Diana is one of them.

What an athlete! She is GOAT swimmers.

Wow she's really inspiring. Really and truly amazing.

We’ll never see another Nyad 😢💙💪💙💪💙💪

What a true testament to the human spirit and the will to achieve a goal.

She is in the zone and when you are you will be amazed at what you can do.

Such an inspiration to everyone who has obstacles to overcome or dreams you want to fulfill!

She's incredible

An amazing testament to what the human spirit is capable of when you put your mind to it. "Find A Way!" I LOVE it! ❤

One of a kind, god bless her spirit and courage. Her mom is so so proud.

Inspiring story. What a fighter! Just goes to show you age is just a number.

Damn, she must have been in pretty good shape for a 64 year old woman chasing her journey. Swimming 100 miles in like two days. This should be on the 2014 Guinness Book of World Records.

My goodness can’t believe it . She’s absolutely something so proud of her 🔥 women power damn amazing

You are the embodiment of perseverance - congrats and God bless....

She is extra ordinary! What a role model for all.of us! I love her!

Nyad has so inspired me. I swim and when I have 10 minutes to go I just think of Nyads swim amazing

THE most amazing woman.

FÉLICITATIONS Madame !... Votre exploit est FANTASTIQUE !

Seeing the promo for the Netflix movie has lead me to this video. Now to learn about her journey. Don't you just love the internet? Such a wealth of info at our fingertips...at 530am. FIND A WAY ❤

how can anybody I hate on her for this? this is incredible. I guess there is no limit to what we can do!!!

A true warrior, she just getting started❤️ respect to you Diana

She is amazing

She is a hero of mine after reading her account of the swim in Harper's

I admire get so much!

Thank you! That was the best comment of the day!

Amazing woman

She is just amazing,as a swimmer but most of all a human,outrageous

just amazing... I hope I can still surf big waves at her age!!!

Endeavor to persevere. She's an inspiration to perseverence.

And I thought I had already seen incredible inspiring women when I heard the story of Ernestine Shepherd, the oldest female bodybuilder in the world and one of the hugest inspirations for me. Women, never falling to amaze me.

Incredible!!!

She is amazing 👏 😍 ❤️

Man they chose the perfect actress to play her, the resemblance is uncanny.

My respects to this woman, this story is real. Not like so many others we have seen here in the past. Where is the kind of resolve we see in Her to find peace, and evolution; in ourselves. Sigh..soon; sadly ; this will all be forgotten. Dammit!!!..I want to tell Her myself what she did cannot be lost in the Chaos of our time. Pax et Lux..Ack

Legend!❤

That as a society we have done incredible movements. Movements condemned by many as impossible yet accomplish by men and woman not very different from you and I. Wake up people let's care about our neightbor. Ma'am I'm a member of the US Air Force and I proudly salute you. Great job

its a strong heart.that's what it is.

I met Dyana in 1977. I was 18, working at a gas station outside Philly. She drove in. I recognized her because she was on Carson the night before. I filled her tank. I asked if she was DNyad, and she said yes. Like an imbecile I didnt ask about her, I asked about Carson. Ugh. She was amazing, though.

Warrior.

YES !!!

Inspiration

Its incredible to see a human body withstand so much. At 64 though? Whats your excuse people? whats mine?...GET FIT!!!

Is anyone else thinking how much she reminds them of Goggins? They are fucking amazing.

Good point.

There, there. You'll be OK. Just focus on what you DO believe, and everything will be fine.

amazing :) To be is to do :) salute

JESUS... I´m 49 and I can´t cross a swimming pool. Beyond my imagination, TRULY!!

Diana is singular woman!

The good Canadian doctor Gupta, who cures dementia. God, or who, bless him.

@marci shore is right. The people posting negative crap you're so short sighted. She did this for her. It was her goal. Her dream. Something that started 30 years ago when she failed the first time. She failed another two more times I believe, but she never gave up. At 64, to accomplish what she did? She knew the risks, but she took all the chances

That's tough. I'm too afraid of sharks to even think about doing that.

The sour grapes sound like people who are rubbed wrong by the fact that Nyad looks at it competitively and sees herself as a winner. There's no problem by that. You can see in this ridiculous feat what a natural competitive desire can accomplish.

Wow! Find a way! I am 61-Earth years and this Sister is 64 SIXTY-FOUR Earth years. She has great focus, dedication and concentration to swim from Cuba to Florida. I need to quit whining about little crap, little aches and pains. @Peta_de_Aztlan

🎉🎉

WOW

How did she swim through the night that’s scary asf

I love that she changed her last name to “Nyad” which is a Greek water nymph

I think it’s amazing for someone to force themselves through this, but to unnecessarily force yourself through something, risk your life, put others on standby, all the manpower and planning involved. Someone forcing themselves to persevere through an emergency situation is one thing, but deliberately putting yourself in one is another

She would make a great Navy Seal.

In response to the comment by a Jose stating the reason people go through the things like this just for the trill is crazy. Very ignorant, you are ignoring the big picture and that's what is wrong with society today. We give up. What this person did is completely awesome, remarable, honorary. We have to remember nothing is impossible unless we accept defeat before trying. This act should serve to reminds us that we once move towards pushing all boundaries in technology, and intelligence,

2 days straight swimming? She didn't stop at all? Like get on a boat?

whtta hero... as a young man, I'm 20, I'm training mma pursuing a professional career, and I never knew a woman could be that tough.

Have you not meet women? They squeeze babies out of their bodies and then feed them with their bodies while healing from squeezing babies out. Then raise children like took who think women can't be tough. That is the toughest thing anyone could every do. I'll never understand why anyone could think women aren't tough when the world literally depends upon the toughness of women.

theres not gain without some pain

did she do this for a reason, like did a boat sink or something?

She kinda looks like Nick Nolte in that mugshot photo

I don't know why your comment has received negative votes. IMO there are plenty of comments in here that should have, but didn't. Strange... (BTW I disagree with your view but appreciate the way you commented; ergo, my response.)

Great feat, but watching the interview I couldn't help but think that Owen Wilson could play her in the movie.

She’s the female David Goggins

Steve Erwin's still alive?

What is the point of abusing yourself like this?

Wow this is incredible .. I don't give a fuck if she's gay or not... This is very inspiring.

Yeah, screw those people. This woman is awesome.

My dentist in the OC made that mask #Nagel

What if upon arriving to Florida she comes across a shark? I'm wondering if that 64 year old lady can also swim fast.

BACK TO CUBA LOL

No one asked you to.

SIMPLY go to MARATHONSWIMMERs and look at the thread on Diana Nyad make up YOUR mind about this "swim." Don't let the naysayers or Diana's "team " make it up for you. Look at the "EVIDENCE."

an old man named diana???

Are you kidding me? People always have to look for the bad.

Never give up... on being famous. You can be an ugly, unimportant person and still be a star. - Diana Nyad
