Who is Indian swimmer Dhinidhi Desinghu, biography, age, parents, state, school and swimming record
Dhinidhi Desinghu feels that all her sacrifices have been worthwhile, even if she has missed out on the carefree joys. Dhinidhi has made the decision to pursue her goal of competing on the biggest platform in the world with unshakable dedication and discipline. She is studying in the ninth grade at present in a Kendriya Vidyalaya in Bangalore.
The Bengaluru-based 14 year old Dhinidi’s mother Jesitha Vijayan hails from Puthiyangadi in Kozhikode while her father Desinghu is a native of Tamil Nadu. Her height isn’t known.
She worships Katie Ledecky, who is a seven-time Olympic gold medalist. The swimmer will compete in 200m freestyle, in which she became senior national champion last year clocking 02:04.24, a new national record.
Her coaches are Nihar and Madhu.
Dhinidhi Desinghu’s top rankings this season, combined with her medal-winning exploits at the senior National championships and National Games last year, earned her one of the two Olympic Universality spots from the Swimming Federation of India (SFI). The young swimmer is honoured and has a fantastic opportunity now that her ability has been recognized.
“Sometimes I miss the fun generally kids of my age have. I do not go out much with friends and feel lonely. But then I wanted to swim and I wanted to go to the Olympics,” Dhinidhi said in an interview.
Dhinidhi Desinghu will be an Olympian at 14 yrs, youngest in the 🇮🇳 contingent for Paris. 7 🥇at the Natl Games Swimming, 2023. So proud to support her from age-12 under @OGQ_India Jr Prog.
Amazing work coaches Nihar sir & Madhu sir, SFI & SAI.

Dhinidhi Desinghu wants to experience as much as possible since she is given the chance to compete at the Olympics at such a young age. It’s only the beginning and she still have a very long way to go. Finding out what else she can accomplish in 2028 and 2032 excites her.
She wants to know what it’s like to live in the Olympic Village, see what kinds of competitions take place there, and witness the commitment, concentration, and training of elite athletes.
She is only concerned with learning this time; therefore, she is not worried about performance. Whatever she learns from this experience will undoubtedly help me become a better athlete.
With 849 points, Nataraj led the male category on the World Aquatics points table. Aryan Nehra, who had placed two points behind following his last qualifying effort in Canada, was next in line. June 23 was the deadline for Olympic qualification.
Indian swimmers have had a difficult Olympic cycle, since none of them have been able to break either the ‘A’ or ‘B’ qualifying times. Dhinidhi’s selection represents a turning point and a promising future for the sport in India.
