Diana Nyad
This was a very important day in history because Diana Nyad made history. She swam from Cuba to Florida. She made history because she swam Cuba to Florida because without being in a shark cage and because she swam 110 miles. She was also 64 years old. She came across the shore line in Key West around 2 p.m. She swam 53 hours, straight. She was the 5th person that tried to swim from shore to shore. She was the only one to finish it. One of the nights that she was swimming her head lights went out one night when she was swimming and Diana said that it was very cold, throughout the that night. Her tongue and lips by the end of the night because of the sun and saltwater. When she was swimming through the water she had to where a mask for some of it because she didn't want to get stung by a jelly fish. Other people had tried that before but one person got stung by a jelly fish too badly and she had to stop swimming because it was so bad. She said that she was so thankful for the boats that went with her through out her whole swim.
