Webinar

09/05 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET

Diana Nyad captured the imagination of 25 million people as she made her epic swim from Havana to Key West in 2013.

The 111-miles, 53-hour epic crossing inspired Netflix to produce a hit movie, NYAD, starring Annette Bening and Jodie Foster.

Diana has earned a reputation as a natural, inspiring public speaker, and her audiences wind up feeling their own power to pursue their own dreams.

Diana, having chased her Cuba dream for 35 years, is the embodiment of the Never Ever Give Up spirit.

Diana Nyad

On September 2, 2013, at the age of sixty-four, Diana Nyad became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the aid of a shark cage, swimming 110.86 miles in fifty-three hours from Havana to Key West. In the 1970s, she became known as the world’s greatest long distance swimmer with her open-water achievements, including a record-breaking swim around Manhattan.

For the next thirty years, Nyad was a prominent sports broadcaster and journalist, filing compelling stories for National Public Radio, ABC’S Wide World of Sports, and others. She is the author of the bestselling memoir, Find a Way, and three other books; is a national fitness icon, a talented linguist, the co-founder of EverWalk — and one of today’s most powerful and engaging public speakers. She performed her off-Broadway show, The Swimmer, at the Minetta Lane Theatre in New York City in 2019.

A Netflix movie, NYAD, based on Diana’s memoir, is currently enjoying global acclaim — and features a tour-de-force performance by Annette Bening, who plays Diana, and an equally riveting turn by Jodie Foster, who plays Bonnie.
