Diana Nyad
Naiads were water nymphs in ancient Greek mythology so it’s fitting that Diana Nyad became a legendary endurance swimmer. Nyad holds the record for longest ocean swim — 102.5 miles – and at the age of 64, Nyad continues setting records. She became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a protective cage back in September. An author and motivational speaker, Nyad was also quick to offer congratulations to fellow out athlete Jason Collins.
