Lockdown imposed due to Corona. Due to this, everything is closed. Its effect has also been seen on the sports world. Troubled by not being able to practice, Asian Games bronze medalist swimmer Veerdhaval Khade said on Sunday that he might consider retiring from the sport if the swimming pool remains closed due to restrictions imposed by the coronavirus. In this regard, Khade said that Indian swimmers are suffering a lot before the Tokyo Olympics due to delay in the resumption of practice.

Several countries including Thailand, Australia, and Britain have opened their swimming pools and allowed swimmers to practice, but the Home Ministry in India may have announced relaxation of restrictions, but due to the ever-increasing cases of coronavirus was not allowed to open the swimming pool. Khade tweeted, 'May have to consider retiring from swimming. No news or message has been received about starting swimming again. I wish that swimming should also be judged like other sports'. He has also tagged Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju and Swimming Federation of India in this tweet. The Ministry of Home Affairs has given permission to open the stadium without an audience and many players who have qualified for the Olympics have also started practice. Khade further said, 'It has been almost three months for swimmers to have landed in the swimming pool in India. When other sports players can follow social distance during practice, swimmers can also do so. It is expected that other potential swimming contenders in the Olympics will not consider retirement. '

Swimming Federation of India had urged the Sports Ministry to take clear permission from the Ministry of Home Affairs to open swimming pools inside the sports complexes so that top swimmers can start the exercise.
