Diana Nyad is still at it, trying yet again to swim from Cuba to Florida. She failed because of bad weather but DAMN. I remember her trying it back when I was a kid.
"In her first attempt in 1978, she quit after being in the water for 41 hours and 49 minutes due to strong currents and rough weather that banged her around in the shark cage.
Had the latest attempt been successful, Nyad would have broken her own record of 102.5 miles (165 kilometers) for a cageless, open-sea swim, set in 1979 when she stroked from the Bahamas to Florida."
