This is where a young Leon Marchand first swam.
Coloma believes Marchand has been the star of the Olympic Games (Tom Burrows/The Athletic)“Everyone is talking about Leon here.
Marchand started out at the small indoor winter pool, before graduating to the Olympic pool at the complex — which also has a huge 150m long summer pool.
Knowing that someone like Leon Marchand swam here and became what he is today… it’s very inspiring.
“Leon Marchand is the best possible flagship for the city that you can dream of — with Dupont as well.
