Adya Agarwal, a young athlete from Thane, was always an enthusiast about sports and fitness since childhood. She started swimming as a hobby at the age of 4. Initially, she didn’t think about making swimming her elementary sport. But as the days were spent on practicing, Adya adapted the increased fundamentals on swimming as her primary sport.
