Effortlessly, they take a dip, splashing into the waters and swimming in it seamlessly. What makes their feat even more interesting is the fact that, unlike professional swimmers and divers who wear a proper swimming costume, these senior citizens do the same by wearing a saree. As per the caption, they take a bath in the waters frequently and hence are quite adept at it.
Naturally, the video has garnered the attention of the Internet population who too leapt into the comments to share their multiple reactions. “Like born swimmers…Wonderful,” lauded one user. “In earlier days people used to use rivers for every purpose. Swimming is a part and parcel of their daily lives,” quipped another. “sooper diving amma,” noted a third individual.
