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 practise 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 the movies and parties. There are 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 swimmimg. ´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.´
