[June 13] NEW DEHLI, India--In Chennai, a 15-month-old baby has
a swimming record by swimming four metres underwater. The infant,
Maharanth is in fact nine-months younger than the current world
record-holder in the swimming.
“I
am very happy. I have no words to express my joy,” said Maharanth's
mother.
The baby is trained by his uncle, Ashok who himself
is a record holder for being the fastest swimmer to cross the Pak
Strait. The ‘water baby’ as little Maharnth is called, has been
practising swimming for an hour a day for the past three-months,
tells Ashok. So, were there any health issues involved?
“We did consult a doctor who checked the
child and said that he is very healthy. He can achieve anything.
This makes me very happy,” said swimming coach Ashok.
And ask the proud mother whether there is some
secret to Mahanth’s success and she tells promptly, “He only drinks
milk.” Well, is milk that’s acting like a magic potion for the wonder
baby? Who knows?
“I
am very happy. I have no words to express my joy,” said Maharanth's
mother.
