"I realised that I needed to enter an institute, and a good athlete can do it easier."

Sport Specific Information
Why this sport?
"Dad took me to the pool to watch his friend's son, who had been enrolled in a swimming club. I knew how to swim before because I had learned in the sea, where we often went to splash around and I always loved water. I did not feel a fully fledged desire to become a swimmer at the time. That only came later."
Training Regime
He trains six days per week and swims for up to four hours daily.
