In a mail sent by the India Book of Records on November 25, it mentioned that "Veda has become the youngest to swim 100 meters. The record for swimming 100 metres was set by Veda Paresh Sarfare, born on January 22, 2024, of Ratnagiri. She swam 100 metres (4 laps) across the length of a swimming pool measuring 25 metres * 22 metres in 10 minutes and 8 seconds at the municipal swimming pool.
