Early life

[edit]

Marchand was born on 17 May 2002 in Toulouse, France. Marchand is the son of former French medley swimmers Xavier Marchand and Céline Bonnet. His uncle, Christophe Marchand, is also a former freestyle swimmer.[8]

As a child, Léon first took up judo and then rugby,[9] and although he was not pushed into swimming by his parents, he quickly felt at ease in the water with the Dauphins du TOEC club at the age of six.[10][11]

"The club is an extension of my family. At seven years old, I really started swimming. But I was skinny, I was too cold in the water and I stopped for a year or two. It was only during vacations that I enjoyed being in the water."

— Léon Marchand in Le magazine L'Équipe in 2023.[11]

Trained and coached by Nicolas Castel in the Toulouse club until 2021, Léon Marchand began training with an adjusted schedule around the age of 12 or 13 years.[11][10] Although he was versatile in freestyle, butterfly, and breaststroke and a good swimmer over various distances, he was not the best national swimmer of his generation in the youth categories, being shorter and less powerful than some of his young competitors.[11] In 2017, as a teenager, he tried the 400m individual medley on his parents' advice and developed a passion for the event.[11]

Alongside his sports career, he earned a scientific baccalaureate with highest honors and pursued computer science studies at Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier University.[10]

Encouraged by his parents, both former swimmers who had the same experience in the United States, Léon Marchand settled in Arizona in August 2021.[12] He justified his choice by expressing his desire to be coached by Bob Bowman, Michael Phelps' mentor.[13][3] He was a junior during 2023–24 at Arizona State University, majoring in computer science.[14]
