World Para Swimming Championships:  Indian swimmer Himanshu Nandal clinched the bronze medal in the men’s 400m freestyle S11 event at the Asian Para Games here on Tuesday, clocking five minutes and 10.91 seconds to secure a podium finish in a four-swimmer field.

The 22-year-old from Rohtak, Haryana, added another achievement to his growing para-swimming career, demonstrating his endurance in the pool after narrowly missing out on a medal in his previous event. Nandal had finished fourth in the men’s 100m backstroke S11 competition on Monday.
