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.

friends. “I have lots of friends who swim and we’re very close. It’s much easier to have

understand this kind of life. But I’m not so different from other people my age. In my free

swimming for a club. I travel a lot for competitions and I have many friends who are
swimmers from other Australian cities and from other parts of the world”. Ana is becoming
