About Event
Swimming Federation of India organized the world’s longest swimming competition in collaboration with Murshidabad Swimming Association and W.B. Swimming Association.
Prabhat was the youngest swimmer of the year (at the time, he was 13 years and 2 months old), and he completed an 81-kilometer swim in 12 hours and 42 minutes.
There is a one-sided flow of river water in this area. Swimming through different flows of the river can be difficult in certain sections where the river flows slowly, requiring tremendous patience on the part of the swimmer.
