The swimming events for today started off early in the morning, as usual. The lack of participation in the aforesaid events was evident from the low turnout, of the audience as well as the participants.

The Bits-Pilani team claimed 5 golds, 3 silvers, and 4 bronze medals of this morning. Meanwhile, MNIT and SriDevi got hold of 2 bronze and 2 silver medals, respectively. One of the interesting races of the morning was 'Individual Medley' in which the players were supposed to cover 4 laps of the pool in the fastest time, but each of the four laps had to be in a different swimming style. The BITS women team introduced its captain as a participant for the event at the last moment, and surprisingly, the captain Mahima won a gold pretty easily in the race. She completed the race smoothly with a large lead.

After the morning's event were gotten over with, the BITS swimming team had a weird "Plunge everyone into the Pool !!!" session, of which the BEP reporter was made a part of, unfortunately.

We'll bring to you updates regarding the evening run of swimming events later...

The Mermaids

With BOSM around the corner English Press Club talked to the swimming team captain Mahima Garg about her expectations and apprehensions for the coming event.

The team comprising of seven girls including one first year student has been practicing since 10th of August, with the constant help from the coaches.

The captain does not have any apprehensions about competing with any of the teams coming for this BOSM. With all the good efforts the team has given in, all it expects is good competition,a challenging BOSM.
