B’lureans participated in large numbers at the 10th Goa Swimathon which concluded recently .
From Ironman to swimathons, Goa is also a destination for sports enthusiasts. With an overcast sky and moderate tides, the recently-concluded 10th Goa Swimathon organised by Enduro Sports at the Bambolim beach, turned out to be an exciting one, especially for Bengalureans.
The event witnessed around 333 swimmers, out of which 114 swimmers – the largest contingent – were from Bengaluru. Most of them ended up as podium finishers and winners in different age categories.
From youngest swimmer Harshini Chander (17), winning the 1km race, to the oldest swimmer Lalitha Vijayaraghavan (71), winning the same race under the 60+ age category, the Bengaluru contingent had a lot to celebrate.
Interestingly, the podium finishers were honoured with traditional Goan art photo frames as a token of gesture and in order to promote the creations of local artisans.
