Reseña del libro "The Incredible Life of Arati Saha the Swimmer Who Wouldn't Give Up (en Inglés)"

Arati Saha was born in 1940, and learnt to swim in the Hooghly riverin Calcutta as a child. At the age of eight, she competed in the NationalChampionship in Bombay, winning silver and bronze medals. When she waseleven years and ten months, she was selected as one of the first four womento represent independent India at the Helsinki Summer Olympics of 1952.She was the youngest Indian Olympian-a record that stands till this day.By the time she was eighteen, Arati was looking for a fresh challenge-shedecided to swim the English Channel. This marathon endurance swim hadbeen completed by others before her, but no woman from India, indeed fromAsia, had done so yet. Arati trained in the lakes and pools of Calcutta, onceswimming for sixteen hours at a stretch. Overcoming many odds, she went toEngland where, undaunted by one failed attempt, she tried again-till she wassuccessful.This is the inspiring story of how a seemingly ordinary girl set her eyes onimpossible dreams and achieved them with her incredible hard work andtalent. In the process, she swam her way into history.
