Ana Johnson
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 we're very close. It’s 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 I’m not so different from other people my age. In my free time, I also enjoy going to movies and parties. There are also some good things about swimming for a club. I travel a lot for competitions and I’ve 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 don’t mind talking to journalists and having my photograph taken. But last year I was on TV and that was much more fun."
