The Truth About Diana Nyad

 

 

“Diana’s Blog” Archive

 

“One thing I wish I had done earlier, and regret not doing — I didn’t dive into the marathon swimming world, I didn’t write blogs or get on the websites of various organizations.”

— Diana Nyad, Time Magazine, “The Deeper Story Behind Netflix’s Nyad,” November 4, 2023

 

 

Between 2010 and 2016, Diana Nyad and her supporters uploaded over 500 posts to what she called “Diana’s Blog.” Her blog remained accessible via diananyad.com at least through May 2023.

On September 1, 2023, the Nyad biopic had its world premiere. That same day, Nyad’s redesigned website went live — absent a “blog” link for the first time in 13 years.

1 2010-07-01 Extreme Dream Video source video archived here
The video lasts only two minutes and 38 seconds but includes three brazen lies:
     •  Cuba–Florida “is a swim I invented.”
     • “I did swim the longest swim in history.”
     • “[I] was the first woman ever to swim around Manhattan Island.”
2 2010-07-02 Diana – through the eyes of her best friend source In this open letter to “Friends of Diana,” her then-BFF Candace Hogan kills three birds with one oleaginous blog post: Hogan's letter also works as a eulogy and a petition for sainthood. “Few can resist drawing nearer to this expansive creature,” Hogan writes, “this bighearted, quick-minded, brilliant, generous being.”

See also Hogan's much longer attestation to Nyad's “integrity and unassailable character,” part of a packet of documents Steven Munatones sent to the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 2019. (Transcription here.)
3 2010-07-07 Thank You! source Nyad disguises a paean to herself as a thank-you note to her supporters.
4 2010-07-07 Diana's Interview on KCRW’s Politics Of Culture source Pages for "Politics of Culture" episode, "Diana Nyad: Swimming the Dream": local pdf | source | also here (via kcrw.com)

None of the above pages contain the actual interview. Part or all of it may be tucked inside “Diana Nyad’s Dream," a 15-part series from her KCRW show “The Score.” Part 1 aired on July 15, 2010.
5 2010-07-08 24 Hour Swim July 10th source “CNN will be live throughout” this 24-hour training swim. Nyad thanks her supporters and semi-subtly asks for more money.
6 2010-07-08 The Amazing Suit source What makes this suit "amazing" to Diana is the internal pouch that can accept a heat pack called a "ThermoPad." She plans to experiment with it during her 24-hour training swim. Her attempts to use a battery-operated heating device in her bathing cap(s) had all failed. “I’ll let you know how this ThermoPad in the suit pouch works out!” says Diana. “I’m so hoping it works!!!!!”

This post foreshadows Nyad's heat-drip device of 2012 and every other "amazing" innovation of hers that would NEVER IN A TRILLION YEARS be acceptable in a legitimate marathon swim.
7 2010-07-09 Just A Few Hours To Go source
8 2010-07-10 The Night Before The Swim source Another panegyric from Candace Hogan, high priestess of the Diana Nyad cult. Hogan lauds Nyad for, among other things, "swimming the farthest distance in history in open water, without a shark cage, 102 miles, something no woman–and no man either–ever accomplished before or has since."
9 2010-07-11 Excerpts From The 24 Hour Swim source
10 2010-07-13 Diana’s Experience – The 24 Hour Swim source Dehydration requiring "4 liters of IV solution" after the swim. Hardship, trauma, misery. That was Diana's experience. (And turning her head 60 times per minute to breathe. Try timing yourself and decide whether that makes any sense.) See Dr. Martha Stout on "the pity play."
11 2010-07-14 CNN Covers Diana’s 24 Hour Swim source I can't find the footage, only this later CNN page with a broken link to a "Diana Nyad swims for 24 hours" video.
12 2010-07-19 Diana Supports Sanjay Gupta’s 6-Pack” Team source Diana writes about going to New York to root for Gupta and six others in their first triathlon. “[I] cheered them on as they all dove into the Hudson River (one of my fondest swimming memories as I was the first woman to swim around Manhattan back in 1975!).” My emphasis.
13 2010-07-24 Hilary Clinton Green Lights The Swim! source Then-Secretary of State Hilary Clinton didn't green-light the swim, though she did famously intervene on Nyad's behalf. We know this thanks to WikiLeaks.
14 2010-08-04 Swimming With Alligators source
15 2010-08-10 Testing The Voyager source Diana's first experience with Voyager.
16 2010-08-19 Birthday Wishes From Diana’s Long-Time Friends source
17 2010-08-19 Jenifer Clark’s Gulf of Mexico Analysis source
18 2010-08-20 Secret Supports Diana’s Dream! source Secret uploaded to YouTube three short videos — “Uncharted Territory” (43 sec.) “Fearless” (56 sec.), and “Formula” (49 sec.) — a few days after the blog post, so they're likely the videos Nyad mentions in the post. As usual, Nyad lists the ostensible horrors of marathon swimming, like dehydration, disorientation, exhaustion, sharks, hypothermia. Later on, she’ll add jellyfish, “sensory deprivation,” and whatever else she can pile on.

Note that Nyad is not fearless when it comes to cold water. She has only attempted swims in tropical waters since her three English Channel failures in 1976.

28 2010-09-02 Diana On Good Morning America source Host Robin Roberts welcomes a Woozle: “Diana Nyad has nothing to prove. She already holds the record for longest ocean swim ever.”

Available on archive.org as of 8/1/2026. Archive.org breaks GMA episodes into one-minute segments. I stitched together all of the Nyad-related clips from the 9/2/2010 episode.
29 2010-09-03 Steven Munatones will verify the swim source Oddly, only the post’s title mentions anything about verifying the swim. The post says nothing about it. Instead, it’s another paean to Nyad, this time by Steven.

Also, one person can't "verify" an event expected to take 60 hours.
