## Transcript

>> Diana Nyad's stunning achievement.

>> We should never, ever give up.

>> The record- breaking swim from Cuba to Key West, 110 miles, 53 hours in shark infested water this morning questioned by some long- distance swimmers. Among other things, they want to know, did she really swim all 110 miles unassisted? Did she rest on a boat, hold onto a canoe, was she ever pulled along? Skeptics speaking to National Geographic and blogging on the marathon swimmer's form point to one 9- hour stretch when Nyad sped up to more than twice her average speed. They want her GPS surface current, weather, eating and drinking data released to verify her claim of conquering a swim once considered impossible.

CNN reached out to Nyad's team who promised a point- by- point response. And historic swim and life- long quest for Nyad, the 5th time to chart, now 64, she's trying to conquer the stretch of ocean since she was 29 years old.

>> I'm good.

>> Barely able to move, she spoke to CNN's doctor Sanjay Gupta just hours after her record- breaking feat.

>> You know what's so good about it, Sanjay? Is that it's all authentic. It's a great story.

>> A great story. Its authenticity not called directly into question but in the uber- competitive world of long- distance swimming and achievement of this magnitude is raising questions and demanding answers. Miguel Marquez, CNN, Los Angeles.
