There was no end to Indian swimmers' dismal run at the Asian Games as the team finished a lowly seventh in the 4x100m freestyle relay final while none managed to make the final of two individual events here today.

The Indian quartet of Anshul Kothari, Sajan Prakash, Neil Contractor and Aaron D'Souza clocked a disappointing 3:25.94 to be second from bottom in the eight-team final.

Things were no better in the individual competition with Sandeep Sejwal finishing fifth in the men's 100m breaststroke heats. Sejwal clocked 1:03.09.

In the men's 100m butterfly event, Sajan Prakash ended sixth with a timing of 55.64.
