See Sky Sports
The British Open water swimming star, who won a silver medal in the Beijing Olympics and who battled to fourth place in London 2012, took a step back from swimming in 2013 to recharge and consider her future plans.
However after competing in the ‘King & Queen of the Sea’ challenge in Copacabana, Brazil, where she and team-mate Chad Ho came second, she is even more determined to qualify for 2016.

Stephanie Rice tells teenagers to be sun smart this summer
Read news.com.auAustralian’s think teenagers don’t do enough to protect themselves from the sun according to a new Cancer Council poll.
The Galaxy poll showed only eight per cent of Australians thought primary school kids were at risk of getting sunburnt – but that jumped to 47 per cent for teenagers. […]
Olympian Stephanie Rice was at Marrickville West Primary School supporting the campaign and reminding Aussie kids to make their sunsafe routine a habit for life.
“I spent so much time outdoors as a kid training five hours a day and thankfully I was always sun smart,” she said.
“It’s important we get all kids into that ritual as they get older of always wearing a hat, sunscreen and getting in the shade which are all simple things that everyone should be doing.”
