The swim was not an easy feat for Shraddha. She had to face many challenges, including fatigue, cramps, and muscle soreness. However, her determination and willpower helped her overcome these challenges and complete the swim. Her parents and coaches were present throughout the swim to encourage and support her.

Shraddha’s achievement is a matter of pride not only for her family and her state but also for the entire nation. It is a testament to the fact that with hard work, dedication, and perseverance, one can achieve anything in life. Her achievement will inspire many young girls to take up swimming and pursue their dreams.

It is also worth mentioning that Shraddha’s achievement comes at a time when there is a growing need to promote sports and physical activities among young people. With the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases and the sedentary lifestyle of modern times, it is essential to encourage young people to adopt a healthy lifestyle and participate in sports.
