India, May 22 -- A 58-year-old man died after suffering a heart attack while swimming in the General Arun Kumar Vaidya Swimming Pool in Chembur on Wednesday morning. The deceased was identified as Ajit Anikeni, a resident of Deonar.

According to other members of the civic-run swimming pool, Anikeni was a regular swimmer for over five years. Around 8.30 am on Wednesday, he had just finished his first 50-metre lap and was resting at one end of the pool. "When the lifeguard spotted that he didn't come out of the water for five minutes, he rushed towards him," said Himmat Gori, 53, a fellow swimmer.

The pool members then rushed Anikeni to a nearby hospital in an autorickshaw, but he was declared dead on arrival, added Gori.
