Rebecca Adlington Siblings: Does Rebecca Adlington Have Siblings?

Rebecca Adlington has two sisters, Laura Adlington and Chloe Adlington.

In 2005, her sister Laura was affected by encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. Her sister recovered over time, but its impact inspired Adlington to say in 2012: “It made me more determined. It makes me train harder”.

Adlington became an Ambassador of the Encephalitis Society in 2009, to help raise awareness of the illness.

Adlington was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours list, followed in December 2009 by an honorary degree as Master of Arts from the University of Nottingham in recognition of her outstanding contribution to British sport.
