Michel Chretien [national]

In 2018 at the short course national championships in Montpellier, France, he was suffering from an ankle injury as well as recovering from an injury to the fingers on his right hand, which caused him to pull out of several of his races. (courrier-picard.fr, 16 Nov 2018)

He began swimming at age five at the CN Caledoniens club in New Caledonia. He began competing at age eight. (nc-sport.com, 01 Jun 2017; lemonde.fr, 20 Jul 2019)

Living in New Caledonia, his parents forced him to learn to swim for water safety reasons. "It's very dangerous to swim over there. My parents just didn't want me to drown, so I began to swim." (nc-sport.com, 01 Jun 2017; ctos.nc, 25 Sep 2017; lemonde.fr, 20 Jul 2019)

General
FROM NEW CALEDONIA TO FRANCE
He was born in Noumea in the French overseas territory of New Caledonia, and moved to mainland France at age 16. "I left New Caledonia to train with Michel Chretien at Amiens Metropole Natation in 2016. It was difficult when I arrived because at home I only trained once a day, while here it's double that, without taking into account the gym work and the physical preparation. Michel has given me so much. He taught me how to adapt. But I took my time and little by little I made it."
