National swimming coach Sucha Singh Sandhu retires
WSN Bureau  

PATIALA: After a meritorious service for nearly 35 years to the sports fraternity, famous swimming coach Sucha Singh Sandhu retired recently. Sucha Singh Sandhu has been instrumental in not only coaching swimming enthusiasts, but also enabling hundreds to become swimming coaches, many of whom are now earning a living as coaches and have built a reputation for themselves in many parts of the world.  

Sucha Singh Sandhu, Mahinder Singh Sandhu and Amarjit Singh Sandhu are three such sports personalities who went out of the way to spend money from their own pocket to nurture talent amongst less privileged sports students.  

Sucha Singh Sandhu obtained his diploma from Patiala and then went on to Germany for an advanced diploma.  

A large number of sports personalities, particularly those who enjoy swimming have greeted Sucha Singh on his retirement. Gurcharanjit Singh Chann (Coach), Ashok Kumar (N.I.S.), Jaspreet Singh (S.P. Punjab Police), Dharampal Tokas (D.I.G.), Veerpal Singh Canada, Jasvir Singh USA,  Jasjeet Singh USA, Bhupinder Gill USA, Harinder Gogri (Coach), Karam Singh (Coach), Bachiar Singh (N.I.S.), Keshav USA and Rakesh Kumar USA, not only greeted Sucha Singh but all were unanimous that, “Sucha Singh was not only a coach to us but was like our father, like our elder brother and a close friend who guided us in thick and thin”.
