Synopsis
Diana Nyad, 64, tasks herself with swimming from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage
Diana Nyad, a marathon swimmer who is 64 years old, faces the highly ambitious challenge of swimming from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage. This feat is not only a test of her endurance and willpower but also of her courage since the 110-mile-long route is through open water and the danger of sharks is always present. To support her, Diana has her two trusted companions – her swimming coach Bonnie Stoll and John Bartlett, the navigator of her path. This is obviously not an easy task as the 53-hour swim will push Diana to her absolute limit.
