People would go like he must be trained to do this, some constant coaching of some sort toh hoga na!?
I got into swimming properly at 22 years of age without knowing freestyle at all! I saw those young kids swimming like fishes and started copying them, bought all what I could afford and started copying them. Then I got my stroke corrected from @deepthi_indukuri , who was a blessing in disguise. She just believed in me unconditionally. Also couldn’t have done it without a father figure and tri coach @team_chai_ @power_peaks_ believing I could!
A year later I bagged my first 10 km swim in the sea where only 4/12 people finished the race in crazy conditions. Then just a week ago with hardly any practice another 10 km swim without hardly any practice or mileage! Came to know I am the only person with my condition to do this consequently twice in the open water that too with a personal best of 5:26minutes. So once again my miracle story continues…
I yet haven’t had any coach to sit on my head and train me swim specific, no fancy equipment, no fancy swim drills and no fancy names!
Just a few things:
PERSISTENCE, RESILIENCE, HUNGER, NOTHING TO LOSE, HUNGRY MORE THAN ANYTHING/ANYONE !!
