Bengal's Swadesh Mondal created two more National records on the penultimate day of the sub-junior and junior National Aquatic Championships at the Basavanagudi Aquatic Centre on Friday.
In the Group I boys' 400m medley race, Mondal fought off a stiff challenge from Shoan Ganguly to come home in
4:34.15s, just over half a second faster than Advait Page's previous National best from 2018. In the 200m breaststroke, he beat S. Danush’s record timing from 2017 to win the gold in 2:22.29s. The efforts took Mondal's tally to four golds, all of which have come in National record timings.
