Both as a general activity and sporting event, swimming is widely
popular in India and appeals to people of all ages. Notwithstanding such
a considerable following, competitive swimming is one of the few Olympic
events that have not seen any notable Indian triumphs at international
competitions.
The maladies afflicting Indian swimming are not difficult to pin down.
Lack of foresight and planning on part of those at the helm of affairs
in the Swimming Federation of India are proving to be the bane for
India's promising swimmers.
