Delhi Families Rely on Swimming to Survive Yamuna Dangers

Delhi Families Rely on Swimming to Survive Yamuna Dangers

In Delhi's Yamuna Bazaar, families living near the Yamuna River teach their children to swim from a young age.

This is because the river can be dangerous, and knowing how to swim is a way to stay safe.

It's a skill passed down through generations, like learning to walk.

During floods and other times, children and adults help rescue people who get into trouble in the water.

The Rescue Boat Club also helps with rescues.

For these families, swimming is more than just fun; it's a way to protect themselves and help others.
