Some journeys are
larger than sport.
To enable Kamya Bhardwaj to become the first Indian woman to complete the Oceans Seven Challenge and establish India among the world’s leading nations in open-water endurance swimming.
Seven of the world’s
toughest ocean channels.
The Oceans Seven is widely regarded as the swimming equivalent of mountaineering’s Seven Summits.
These crossings test physical endurance, mental resilience, navigation skills, cold-water adaptation and the ability to perform in extreme environmental conditions. Strong currents, low temperatures, marine life, changing weather and long hours in open seas make it one of the most demanding achievements in endurance sport.
Ambitious. Resilient.
Fearless.
Kamya Bhardwaj, from Gurugram, has already demonstrated extraordinary endurance and determination through a record-setting Palk Strait double crossing between India and Sri Lanka.
Her open-water achievements demonstrate endurance capability, mental resilience, technical proficiency in difficult conditions and a commitment to long-term sporting excellence.
