Nagpur's Roma for World Aquatics masters meet in Singapore
Nagpur: Roma Sarnaik Morghade will represent India at the World Aquatics Masters Championships in Singapore. She will compete in the 30-35 years age category, participating in three 50m individual swimming events: freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke.
Making a comeback to the pool after a gap of 16 years, during which she established her career, Roma resumed training professionally at the Aqua Sports Club under the guidance of Vishal Chandurkar and Shashikant Chande.
Over the past year, Roma participated in various state and national level masters swimming competitions and qualified to represent India at the world meet.
Roma said, "When I returned to the pool after 16 years, it was Vishal Sir who believed in me. He didn't hesitate to train me again—this time, not as a schoolgirl, but as a determined adult chasing an international dream. I feel fortunate to train under him as his coaching has helped me rediscover my potential."
The World Masters meet will take place next month in Singapore, representing the largest global aquatic competition for adult athletes over 25 years and attracting more than 7,000 swimmers from over 100 countries.
