“I remember the first time I dived into a pool. It was blissful. My journey with swimming started 19 years ago. The love and passion for swimming helped me earn the opportunity of getting trained by my masters who have shaped me into what I am today.

Just like any other sport, swimming also requires a proper diet, high-quality supplements, and good calorie food. Having come from a middle-class family, achieving all this was part of my tough journey. Even through these difficult times, I had my parents stand by my side.

Being a sportsman, we need to train ourselves stronger mentally and physically. Through this experience as a swimmer for over a decade, I can confidently say that quality training is one factor that should never be ignored.

The determination and respect for the sport has helped me win 118 medals for the State and 6 medals at the Nationals. My happiest memory till date is when I got a call regarding my selection for the World Championship. Trust me, I had to pinch myself so hard just to believe that I have achieved what I always wished to. I did not qualify for the finals but I will always be proud of what I achieved.”
