Kenisha created new meet records in 100 m breast stroke (01:21.15 secs), 50m free style (00:28.79 secs) and 100m individual medley (01:12.21 secs), while she won a gold medal in 100m back stroke (01:14.42 secs), 100m butterfly (01:13.80 secs) and 100m free style (01.03.50 secs).

In the boy's under-19, Kiran Mathew of Hiranandani (Powai) won golds in all the six events - 100m free style, 100m back stroke, 100m butterfly, 100m breast stroke and 100m individual medley.
