His older brother Riaan represented South Africa in swimming at the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. His father Joe was an athlete and competed in track events at national level in South Africa. (SportsDeskOnline, 30 Jun 2021; northglennews.co.za, 05 Feb 2016; superleaguetriathlon.com, 01 Jan 2021)

He consistently ranked among the top 10 swimmers in South Africa in his age group while growing up. (henrischoeman.com, 26 Aug 2015)

In March 2011 he shattered his right collarbone in a mountain bike accident and had to take time off for recovery. (henrischoeman.com, 26 Aug 2015; triathlon.org, 23 Jul 2014)

He took up the sport at age 18. (capetown.triathlon.org, 27 Nov 2013)

His father Joe was a runner who competed in half-marathons. He was a big influence on his son growing up and encouraged him to take swimming lessons. He trained in swimming throughout high school, achieving good results, and also doing triathlons for fun. After winning the national U19 triathlon championships without specific training, he decided to switch his focus to triathlon. (henrischoeman.com, 26 Aug 2015; northglennews.co.za, 05 Feb 2016)
