- Bhakti Sharma
Another Indian open water swimmer who is bringing laurels to the nation, Bhakti Sharma recently became the youngest swimmer and the first Asian girl to swim for 1.4 miles in the Antarctic Ocean all in the course of just 52 minutes.
The freezing water was at a temperature of 1 degree celcius and 25-year-old Bhakti braved the cold to beat earlier records set by British and American swimmers. She has been practicing open water swimming for 10 years now and is a recipient of the Tenzing Norgay National Adventure award.
