Just Keep Swimming

Bhakti Sharma was literally thrown into the deep end when she was just two-and-a-half years old. She tells Nikita Sawant how open water swimming has changed the way she looks at life.

At 27, Bhakti Sharma has swum across four oceans, twice across the English Channel, the Gulf of Mexico, and the freezing waters of Antarctica, making and breaking records wherever she went. The coaching she received from her mother Leena Sharma, herself an expert swimmer, and her own innate love for adventure is what makes Sharma such a natural. She says, “Open water swimming has contributed a lot to my character and made me a better person.”
