The media personality stunned fans with an old image from her school swimming days ahead of the Nine Network celebrity race at the Australian Swimming Trials.

The much-loved Today Extra presenter brought her A-game as she joined a lively mix of celebrities and sporting legends in the Mixed 6x50m Freestyle Celebrity Relay on Wednesday.

“My swimming career may have peaked in high school, where I finished seventh at district championships, but at 12 feet, I have built-in fins and I’m not afraid to use them,” she said that evening.

Jeffreys shares two sons with her Sky News Australia journalist husband Peter, the younger brother of Today presenter Karl Stefanovic.

Just eight months later, the TV presenter revealed she was pregnant with her second child, son Henry.

Last August, Sylvia revealed that despite her blossoming career, family remains her number one priority.

The TV presenter told it The Daily Telegraph that she always makes time for the two toddler sons she shares with her husband.

“It is not a given for me that I can find quite a bit of balance in my life in that area,” she says.

“Because more than anything I just want to be with my kids, especially now that they’re this age. I know this is the most important thing in life,” she continued.
