GRACE Khelan is one of Orca Swim Club’s standout juniors, now turning heads in paddling through cross-training. In just two years, she has smashed multiple national records — including Fiji age-group, short-course open, national schools, and a 13–14 50m butterfly national mark — and claimed an international bronze in Australia. She dominated the 2024 Long Course Age Group Nationals with 18 events and 14 gold
medals on day one, and in 2025 added two more international bronzes at the School Sport Australia Championships in Brisbane. A multi-sport talent, she also won Under-13 shot put gold at the 2025 Fiji Primary Schools Tuckers Ice Cream Games.
Also an avid paddler for the USP Islanders Outrigger Canoe Club, Grace brings that
same competitive edge to the Wai Tui International, where her speed and power make her one of the juniors to watch on the water.
