--Push back the pain to find the glory

Over the years, Swimmathon has grown exponentially and now attracts 100+ participants every year.

Appaji (SAC Incharge) and Prof. Ramesh Kumar Sports(Chairman, Sports) were also present on the occasion. It was a wonderful experience seeing so many swimmers swimming together. Refreshments were also provided to the participants and officials throughout the event.
