Inspired by his elder brother, Harsh started taking swimming lessons and won some gold and silver medals in swimming competitions. He counsels aspiring youngsters to engage in any physical activity or sport.
Harsh began taking swimming lessons at Khel Gaon in Udaipur five years ago. As a swimmer himself, his elder brother served as an inspiration to him.
Under the direction of his instructor Mahesh Paliwal, Harsh has been learning to swim at Khel Gaon for the past five years. Initially, he did not know how to swim properly but now he is trained. Harsh’s role model is Caeleb Dressel as he is the fastest swimmer in the world and Harsh wants to become like him.
Harsh believes swimming provides full body exercise, develops stamina and increases fitness.
Harsh was the Open State Champion in June 2023. Recently he played in the CBSE West Zone Tournament and won one gold and two silver medals.
Harsh says he feels nervous before every competition and so he reads the Hanuman Chalisa. This helps him to gain confidence and motivates him.
