Diana Nyad

We were joined by world record swimmer and current 'Dancing With The Stars' contestant Diana Nyad this morning on the Get Up & Go Show. She's been a fan of DWTS since the beginning and is excited to leave it all on the ballroom floor Monday night for your votes.

For the first time in history, a swimmer has endured the 103-mile route from Havana, Cuba to Key West, Florida, without the assistance of a shark cage. That swimmer, 64-year-old Diana Nyad, began her quest on Saturday, August 31, and finished around 53 hours later on Labor Day.
