Mumbai: Endurance swimmer Aryan Singh Dadiala scripted history by completing a 210km non-stop open sea swim along the Goa coastline, covering the distance between Querim Beach on the Maharashtra border and Polem Beach near the Karnataka border before returning to the starting point.
The two-way solo marathon swim was completed between April 28 and Apr 30, 2026, in 49 hours 41 minutes and four seconds under Open Water Swimming Association (OWSA) rules. Organisers claimed the feat has been recorded as World Record 218930.
Dadiala undertook the challenge without sleep, rest or physical support from the accompanying boat throughout the nearly 50-hour swim.
Battling harsh sea conditions, changing tides and physical exhaustion, the swimmer navigated dark nights with minimal visibility, strong winds and underwater currents during the record attempt. He also endured jellyfish stings, leaking goggles and pain in his right shoulder while continuing the swim.
