The MahaSwim Championship 2025, Maharashtra’s premier state-level swimming competition, was successfully held on April 26, 2025, at the Shivchhatrapati Sports Complex in Mahalunge – Balewadi, Pune. Organized by Orzuv Fitness and officially approved by the Maharashtra State Amateur Aquatic Association (MSAAA), the event attracted more than 500 swimmers from nearly 20 districts across the state.
