According to a report that originally appeared in The Times of India, Indian para swimmer Satendra Singh made history over the weekend by completing a swim across the English Channel in 12 hours and 26 minutes.

Singh completed the swim along with three other para swimmers, making them the first relay team of four para swimmers to cross the Channel successfully. The other three swimmers accompanying Singh were Chetan Raut, Rimo Shah, and Jagdish Chandra.

The 29-year old has been preparing for the swim for over a year, which included a successful completion of a swim across the Arabian Sea last May. He completed that 36-km swim in 5 hours and 43 minutes.
