IPS Krishna Prakash while sharing a video on Twitter and wrote, “Today I completed the daunting task of swimming from Gateway of India to Elephanta Caves and became the first person in the world to do so. Contrary to the popular swimming route of Elephanta caves to Gateway of India, whereas swimmers ride the waves of the high tides towards the gateway I decided to do it from the reverse side against the waves. I could swim a distance of 16.20 km in 5 hrs 26 minutes. This expedition is dedicated to ‘Drowning Prevention Awareness’. Trust my adventure swimming will inspire young Indians to try their best to bag Olympic medal in 10k open water swimming.”
The IPS officer can be seen posing near the end of the video with a trophy and a garland around his neck.
