Akhilesh Bhargava, a resident of P Block, DLF-2, has once again made his mark in the world of competitive swimming. At the 20th National Masters Swimming Championship held in Bhopal from November 10 to 12, 2024, he achieved his best-ever performance in the 60-64+ age category, securing impressive podium finishes. Bhargava won a silver medal in the 100m Butterfly and contributed to his relay team’s victory, securing a gold in the 4x50m Medley Relay and a silver in the 4x50m Freestyle Relay.
At 62, Bhargava’s accomplishments are a testament to his resilience, discipline, and dedication. An ex-army brigadier, Bhargava has been swimming since childhood and has participated in competitive events since 2015. Even after undergoing heart surgery in 2016, he didn’t let that define him. His comeback in 2017 proved his commitment to fitness and his love for the sport.
Bhargava’s journey is a beacon of inspiration, particularly for those in his age group. His focus on diet and consistent training has kept him in peak form, allowing him to excel in every event he competes in. His story proves that age is just a number, and with determination, anyone can achieve their dreams.
We congratulate him on this remarkable achievement and look forward to more successes in the future!
Congratulations AKHILESH JI!!
