His father Alberto Mestre Sr represented Venezuela in swimming at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow and the 1984 Games in Los Angeles. His younger brother Alfonso Mestre has also competed in swimming, including for the University of Florida in the United States of America.

He took up the sport at age 12. (olympics.com, 27 May 2021)

He followed his father into the sport. "My father was the one who instilled in me the passion for swimming. He never forced me but always motivated me. My brother [Alfonso] also excels in the pool, so it's a family tradition. It was something that I personally chose. Swimming was actually the last sport my dad wanted me to do, because he knows the sacrifices involved." (olympics.com, 27 May 2021)
