Humans are extraordinary

Diana Nyad, endurance swimmer, address TED in 2013

We swim. We know swimmers. We work with athletes. We know marathon swimmers.

We don’t know Diana Nyad. She swam from Cuba to Florida, which is over 177km. Awesome.

She is a life long athlete and the fact that she accomplished this swim when she was 64 speaks to the power of sport and the power of human potential.

This TED talk that she gave in 2013 is wild. We recommend it.
