Report on the Diana Nyad Cuba-Florida Swim (2013) Issues Index

This article goes into some detail about a document presented by Nyad in 2022 for ratification, claiming to represent the rules of a non-existent organization, FSOWSA, titled “Proposed Florida Straits Open Water Swimming Association (FSOWSA) & Florida Strait Rules” with a copyright date of 2011. (see photos in section Timeline of Rules). The authenticity of this date is implausible, given that the concept of an official FSOWSA was only proposed in May 2012. (see email suggesting Cuba to Florida swimming association 13 May 2012 in Safety Section). This association was never established. The document with a 2011 inaccurate copyright mentions an individual who did not swim the Florida Straits until 2013. (Refer to Part 2 Timeline section) FOWSA).

This swim was never ratified and was denied ratification even as an “assisted” swim in 2023 because the swim had been completed in conformity with rules and procedures promulgated by an organization, the Florida Straits Open Water Swimming Association (FSOWSA), which did not exist at the time of the swim. Additionally, there were contradictory statements from crew members during critical hours and observer logs lacked entries for over 9 hours.

Note: During the research for the Nyad report, it was noted that Mr. Bartlett did not subscribe to the use of conventional medicine for an underlying condition. This fact was not documented in the research findings as it was deemed irrelevant to the scope of the report.

John Bartlett Obituary

Original Article

John Bartlett, the chief navigator for Diana Nyad’s Cuba-to-Florida attempts and crossing of 2013, unexpectedly and shockingly passed away 2 days ago.

Bartlett took his role in planning, researching and charting Nyad’s course extraordinarily seriously. He spent countless hours comparing information and forecasts from oceanographers and meteorologists with the actual conditions that he observed while in the Florida Straits.

When weather or marine life led to Nyad calling her swim short, it pained him. When Nyad finally had more luck on her side, he rejoiced with her and her team.

He put his heart and soul and decades of expertise in the waters of the Caribbean Sea. He was meticulous and rechecked his course constantly while on Nyad and her escort boat were getting battered and pushed left, right, forwards and backwards during her swims.

Bartlett was everything that a swimmer wants, needs and expects from their navigators. “I remember in tropical storms, for long stretches – 10, 15, 20 hours – John would be watching Diana and checking and re-checking his course with the intensity of a chess player and the wisdom of a veteran mariner. His intellect, his curiosity and his sense of challenge were the perfect match for Diana and the Florida Straits,” said Steven Munatones. “He will be sorely missed by everyone who had the pleasure to come across his humble and passionate path.”

Kayaker and friend Don McCumber recalls,

“Besides being the genius navigator behind Diana’s successful quest, John (far right in photo) also designed and built two very unique boats that were used in her Cuba swims.

The first kayak mothership was Mirage and Diana’s personal support mothership was Voyager, a boat that was ideally suited for this purpose. John [had a] passion – designing and building boats with a singular vision…boats like no others.

This one, John had decided to name ‘Catanahaf’: Catamaran and a half – a trimaran. We built the center hull by laying up fiberglass in a mold that John had previously built a power catamaran with before. The outer hulls were salvaged from a catamaran that John had bought for this purpose. He had the vision to see these three hulls coming together, and then make it happen. We were just getting to the stage when John was able to start painting primer in the cockpit area in the last couple of weeks.”

Mark Sollinger recalls his close buddy,

“John and I worked together on three Cuba swims. The adventure he and I shared is a book in itself. We were roommates in Key West. When I think of him now, it is with a big smile. Not only was he a calm professional, but he was funny as hell. He told me once that he was from West Hartford Connecticut an area I know well and I recognized the accent. He also told me the story about how he had been the only white member of an all black disco band. He played the electric base. The band was complete with silk shirts and platform shoes. He would then demonstrate playing “air base” complete with some of his moves. I was rolling on the floor laughing. It is said that everyone we meet in life has an effect on us. Some good, some bad. It is not enough to say John was in the good category. He was in an elite category that is saved for those few very special ones.”
