Early life
Summarize
Perspective
Marchand was born on 17 May 2002 in Toulouse, France. Marchand is the son of former medley swimmers Xavier Marchand and Céline Bonnet. His uncle, Christophe Marchand, is also a former freestyle swimmer.[7]
As a child, Marchand first took up judo and then rugby,[8] 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.[9][10]
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.
— Marchand in Le magazine L'Équipe in 2023.[10]
Trained and coached by Nicolas Castel in the Toulouse club until 2021, Marchand began training with an adjusted schedule around the age of 12 or 13.[10][9] 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.[10] In 2017, as a teenager, he tried the 400m individual medley on his parents' advice and developed a passion for the event.[10]
Alongside his sports career, he earned a scientific baccalaureate with highest honors and pursued computer science studies at Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier University.[9]
Encouraged by his parents, Marchand settled in Arizona in August 2021.[11] He wanted to be coached by Bob Bowman, Michael Phelps' mentor.[12][2] He was a junior during 2023–24 at Arizona State University, majoring in computer science.[13]
