Muskaan romped home in style as she bagged six golds – 50m and 100m free style, 50m breast stroke, 100m individual medley, 50m butterfly events and 50m back stroke, leaving the field way behind.  While Rushab emerged best in five of the six events he participated. The one he missed was 100m breast stroke  in which  Krish Mehta from Dhirubhan Ambani, pipped him at the post  to deprive him of the clean sweep. However, for the second day in a row, none of the swimmers could better any of the existing records in any of the categories.
