 Ana Johnson is a 13-year-old swimmer who lives in Melbourne in Australia.
Her dream is to swim for Australia in the next Olympics. She swims in both long
and short races and she has already come first in many important competitions.

As well as spending many hours in the pool, Ana also makes time for
studying and for friends. I have lots of friends who swim and were very close. Its
much easier to have friends who are swimmers because they also have to get up
early to practice like me and they understand this kind of life.

But Im not so different from other people my age. In my free time I also
enjoy going to the movies and parties. There are also some good things about
swimming for a club. I travel a lot for competitions and Ive made friends with
swimmers from other Australian cities and from other parts of the world.

Ana is becoming well known in Australia and she believes it is important to

get more young people interested in swimming. I dont mind talking to journalists
and having my photograph taken. But last year I was on TV and that was much
more fun.
