Kanpur: Two swimmers Pankaj Jain and Rohit Nishad on Monday displayed an adventure swimming when they tied their hands and feet and swam around 7 km in Ganga.

They said their effort was to encourage players and swimmers.

According to Prakash Awasthi, vice-president UP Swimming Association, Pankaj and Rohit started swimming from Atal Ghat to Sarsaiyya Ghat. Though their hands and feet were tied with a rope even then they successfully covered seven km distance quite easily. A team of swimmers on a boat escorted them.

Awasthi said the District Swimming Association will organize an adventure swimming in memory of Late Padam Kumar Jain from Atal Ghat to Siddhanath Ghat in which some long distance expert swimmers will take part.
