Hi Diana, not a question, just a comment. My son was terrified of swimming and after 2 years of lessons he still couldn't. Knowing it's an important life skill, I encouraged him each time we went to another lesson. We watched your epic swim together online (I think it was the threat of sharks that first interested him), and a month later he decided (with no prodding since I didn't even know there was a team) to join the swim team. He's earned 9 ribbons including 2 first places in his first season, and when I asked what changed his mind about swimming, he just said "I dunno, I guess Diana Nyad sort of inspired me." He is 9 years old. THANK YOU.
