woman swims from Cuba to Florida

She tried a number of times before unsuccessfully as far back as when she was 28.

I cannot even swim, so I consider that to be quite an admirable feat.

 

I'm 30 years of age and can barely swim a length of a standard pool... this is an amazing achievement and I marvel at what the human body can endure.

 

I can't but think to myself: so what?

 

This is an amazing feat of physical and mental prowess, impressive enough if it were performed by a 25-year old professional athlete, let alone a 60-year old.

 

I think this is amazing. An achievement to be proud of.

 

fucking yay :2thumbsup:

 

Diana Nyad was the first to swim from Cuba to Florida without the aid of a shark cage or flippers.

In 2012 a 14 year old girl, Annaleise Carr, became the youngest to swim across Lake Ontario.
