India find hope in teenage swimmer Khade

May 30, 2008

The son of a sugar businessman from Kolhapur in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, Khade took to the pool as a four-year-old in his home town.

In 2006 he shifted to Ameen's centre in Bangalore after the coach spotted his talent at a national competition.

Ameen said: "He has natural speed and competes well under pressure. How well he does on the highest platform of his sport depends on the maturity of his strategy, which is a work in progress in his training schedule."
