Diana Nyad Congratulated By Rick Scott After Cuba-to-Florida Swim

On Tuesday, Gov. Rick Scott called swimmer Diana Nyad to congratulate her on completing her swim from Cuba to Florida.

I thanked Diana today for making Florida a part of her historic milestone, Scott said. She is an inspiration for so many. I told her Florida was proud to be her monumental finish line yesterday. I also asked Diana to consider staying in Florida for a while and even calling our great state home again. Florida is home for many dreamers, entrepreneurs and those that continue to make history just like Diana.
