Welcome to LIVE WITH SAHAJ

LIVE WITH SAHAJ follows one kid's real adventures in three worlds. Air means aiming high: maths, Model UN and science. Aqua is scuba diving, finswimming and swimming. Land is long-distance running and skating.

Our promise is simple: real learning and real progress, falls included, with no hype and no staged wins. Our motto ties it together: Air, Aqua and Land of Sahaj. Our sign-off says how: Learn. Grow. Explore. Inspire.

The channel is run by Sahaj's parents. We post first names only, keep comments moderated, and never show other people's faces without permission.

What is finswimming? A kid's guide to the monofin

Finswimming is swimming with fins, and in the fastest events that means a monofin: one wide fin that holds both feet together. Instead of kicking each leg, you move your whole body like a dolphin, a wave that starts at your chest and ends at the fin.

Races are measured in metres, just like normal swimming. The 50 m is one fast length of a long pool. In May 2026, Sahaj came 2nd in the 50 m monofin at the 3rd Kutch District Finswimming Tournament.

Try this (with a coach): practise the dolphin kick without fins first, arms stretched in front, keeping the wave smooth and small.

How a kid trains for 5000 m (safely)

5000 m is 12.5 laps of a standard track. The secret isn't speed, it's pacing: running at a speed where you can still talk in short sentences.

  • Start with run-walk: 1 minute running, 1 minute walking.
  • Add a little each week, never a lot.
  • Rest days count as training.
  • Water before and after, and always with an adult nearby.

Follow the 5K Journey series on YouTube to see the training log week by week.

Why every dive starts with a buddy check

Before any dive, divers check each other's gear. Kids learn this from a certified instructor, and it covers the jacket, the weights, the releases, the air and a final OK.

The rule we never break: kids dive only with a certified instructor, at depths that are right for their age and training. This blog explains what happens; it doesn't teach you how to dive. For that you need a real course.
