Thirty years after abandoning long-distance swimming to pursue a prominent career in sports journalism, Nyad sets out at age 60 to fulfill the dream that so eluded her as a young woman: "the Everest of swimming."
This event subjects swimmers to a 180 km crossing between Cuba and Florida, and Diana Nyad intends to be the first person to achieve it without being protected by a shark cage. With a dream and a goal to achieve, the swimmer sets out on her exciting new four-year adventure accompanied by her coach and close friend Bonnie Stoll. In addition, a dedicated team will accompany her on her expedition.
