Netflix is set to tell the miraculous and astounding true story of Diana Nyad in the appropriately titled Nyad, which will share how the historic athlete became the first person in the world to swim from Florida all the way to Cuba. The latest film from the Academy Award-winning directing duo Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyhi, Nyad is based on Diana Nyad's own memoir, Find a Way. Today, Nyad is a highly respected author, journalist, and motivational speaker, but before all of that, she was an experienced swimmer who never ceased chasing her ambitions. One such feat that had eluded her for much of her life was the 110-mile swim from Florida to Cuba, which she had attempted multiple times but failed to complete. Against the advice of her friends and family, Nyad then decided to attempt the swim again despite being 64 years of age. To learn more about this incredible true story as well as its cast, trailer, release date, and more, here is everything we know so far about Nyad.
