Nine-year-old Srisha Suvarnasingh Polle from Podwal, Corjuem in Aldona, Goa, has once again made her village proud by successfully crossing the iconic Mandovi River on 15th March 2026.
A student of Shiksha Niketan School, Srisha accomplished this remarkable feat at the tender age of 9 years, marking her second successful crossing of the Mandovi River. She had earlier completed the same challenge when she was in Standard II at the age of 8, demonstrating exceptional courage, determination, and swimming ability at such a young age.
What makes this achievement even more inspiring is that Srisha did not undergo any specialized private training. She developed her swimming skills through the swimming camp organized by her school, where she nurtured her passion and confidence in the water.
The event witnessed the participation of 32 swimmers, conducted under the expert guidance of Coach Ajay Naik and other team of Coaches , who mentored and supervised the young participants throughout the challenging river crossing.
Srisha’s achievement has brought immense pride not only to her family but also to the entire community of Corjuem and Aldona. She is the beloved daughter of Mr. Suvarnasingh Ramakant Polle and Mrs. Rakhee Suvarnasingh Polle, who deserve appreciation for encouraging and supporting her passion and determination.
The people of Corjuem–Aldona proudly congratulate Miss Srisha Polle for this outstanding accomplishment. Her courage and perseverance at such a young age serve as an inspiration to many other children.
The community wishes her continued success and hopes that she will overcome every challenge in life with the same determination, achieving greater milestones in the years to come.
Congratulations and best wishes to young Srisha for a bright and successful future.
