Being a coastal country is certainly advantageous. Not the only criteria for success. Even a five year old kid will agree.You do not need to be coastal civilization to be good at swimming.
You need more swimming pools and training.
India is a piss poor country which cannot afford swimming pools and golf courses.
Indian hockey also went some decades ago when field hockey switched from grass to synthetic turf.
India is bad at Golf. How about Asian Games where we finished above China.

Lastly, Pakistan and Bangladesh guys should stay away from Asian games forums. We know how u did.
Let's not talk about hockey where we just won Gold and defeated Pakistan 10-2.
Are you actually following Asian games.You do not need to be coastal civilization to be good at swimming.
You need more swimming pools and training.
India is a piss poor country which cannot afford swimming pools and golf courses.
Indian hockey also went down the drain some decades ago when field hockey switched from grass to synthetic turf.
Weight is the problem.
Indians are overweight due to bad food they eat.
Chinese and East Asian are generally light weighted and skinny which helps in them atheletics and swimming.
Don't you know that India won 29 athletic medals (2nd in Asia) vs 39 for China and 17 for Japan.
Despite loosing 7 Gold medals to African athletes.
I also showed you the timings of Indian swimmers and compared them from 2002 Asian games. And showed how they would also win gold if they had participated with current form in 2002 games.
Where is the weight handicap you are talking about???
