My life is just one big race, never slowing down, never stopping. I swim competitively, so I know lots of people all over the world. But they don't know me, they don't know my story. Amongst the sea of people it's hard to get noticed, everyone all fighting for the contract. The contract that would set you up for life, and only ten people can get it. Only ten get to be in the best team in Europe, that's my goal.
On top of swimming, school and homework Gracie tries to balance boyfriends and working out what her heart really wants.
