What is the Main Idea?
For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. Her first long-distance swim in 1970 was one of her shortest. She swam a ten mile marathon in Lake Ontario, and, even though she did not finish first, Nyad set the women’s record for the course. After this early success, Nyad took on longer and more difficult swims. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. She traveled the entire distance without using a shark cage for protection. This feat still stands today as the longest swim of its kind.
Nyad became one of the greatest swimmers ever by always challenging herself.
