Children’s Coaching Classes & Proud Sponsors of Porbandar’s Swimathon 2018!

The event is run by a large group of high profile individuals, authorities, coastal guards and many others on a voluntary basis. The club membership is irrespective of cast, creed, religion, social status and even ability. At present, the members range from 6 to 80 years of age all of which are avid swimmers. This year, a record number of 380 people took part in the competition, travelling from all over India to compete. Over the course of event, the participants compete in 1000m, 2000m, 5km and 10km races.

Following the races a ceremony takes place to award the winners with prizes for their triumphs. In recent years the swimming club has been able to bring together athletes with a range of disabilities, including impaired muscle power, impaired passive range of movement, limb deficiency, leg length difference, short stature and hypertonia. This allows them to compete safely in the secure hands of highly trained coastal guards creating what is one of the greatest events in India.
