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.

Madelyn Sheaffer's bikini is the talk of the town.

Michael Phelps, eat your heart out.

Australian swimmer Chloe McCardel is planning to swim in June from Cuba to the U.S., but without the safety of a shark cage. She won’t be able to touch a chase boat or another person, she won’t use flippers or other swimming devices.

Did you hear that 3 men from Kentucky were arrested in the Falls for swimming in the Niagara River below the Horseshoe falls!  Is that stupid or what?  I understand Niagara Falls is one of the great wonders of the world and tourists like to remember the experience, but why not

Michael Phelps has managed to swim into history.
