Publisher's Summary
At the age of 64, legendary athlete Diana Nyad inspired the world when she walked onto the shores of Key West after "crossing the Mt. Everest of the earth's oceans", becoming the first person in history to make the 111-mile swim from Cuba to Florida without the assistance of a shark cage. In her riveting new play The Swimmer, recorded live at the Minetta Lane Theatre, Nyad shares the heartbreaking setbacks, brushes with death, and the victories that kept her going, plunging the audience into the depths of her extraordinary journey. Written by Nyad, directed by Emmy Award winner Jane Anderson, and featuring her longtime friend and coach Bonnie Stoll, Nyad makes her New York stage debut in this powerful true story of passion and resilience.

Thoroughly enjoyed this story.
I love her fanatical personality that helped her finish what she had always wanted to achieve with swimming. It spoke to me as a 66 year old active senior who still believes she has much to accomplish as a triathlete. Thank you❤️

Great performance
What a great story and performance. The meaning Diana shares within her story shines through in every detail she shares. The way the story was shared, including sound effects, held my attention to the very last second. I now know I must read her book!

Amazing
I haven't listened to a whole lot of audiobooks yet tiet, however this this was the best audio book I've listened to so far. Diane and I ananayad and Bonnie as orators were superb. The content was funny, inspirational, touching and so much more that I don't have words for. A MUST listen. The only thing better would have been able to see this live.

The Swimmer
This book was a pleasant surprise ! I met Diana as a youngster so when I saw this book I thought I would listen to her journey. It was so well done I felt I was part of her team . A 5 star read and very inspiring even for a 65 year old - she makes me want to keep challenging myself ♥️

Riveting!
This is a book you cannot stop or pause until finished! So inspiring and simply amazing!
I would add a warning regarding the loud whistles, especially for those with ear buds!
