This a tale of a struggle by Dipak Nayek aged 24. a victim of cerebral palsy, speech impaired with his left hand totally paralysed. Son of a caretaker of a Swimming Pool in the College Square Tank, Kolkata, from his childhood Dipak felt a fascination for swimming. At the age of ten one of the trainers Dilip Mallik, made Dipak step into the pool and now he is a trained swimmer and a lifesaver. His spine has improved as a result of this regular swimming. Dipak has won several medals in the national Paralympic events--now he is preparing himself for the international Paralympic.
This Tank's Indoor pool has now opened a facility for training children with special needs!
