I am associated with swimming as a sport since childhood and have successfully competed in the national arena several times. Before attempting to cross the English channel (4th September 2010), I came in contact with Mr. Debjit Das and took comprehensive fitness guidance from him for 7-8 months. Apart from general fitness he groomed me with sports specific training which vastly improved my strength, stamina, endurance and flexibility. I largely owe my success to Mr.DAS and an indebted to him for his extraordinary effort.
