We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Renan Poirier, the former Assistant Head Coach of Marseille and French Junior National coach for the world junior championships in 2022, as our team's new head coach. With over a decade of coaching experience at the highest levels, Renan brings unparalleled expertise that will take our club to new heights.
Renan began coaching at a local club in France, where his passion and dedication quickly set him apart. He then rose through the ranks to become the Associate Head Coach of the Elite Team at Cercle des Nageurs de Marseille, the most prestigious swimming club in France. He worked alongside some of the world's top athletes, including Florent Manaudou, Fred Bousquet, and Marie Wattel, contributing to numerous international successes, including qualifying six swimmers for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Renowned for fostering strong team cohesion and developing personalized training programs, Renan also managed the age group program, overseeing around 300 swimmers. Under his leadership, his athletes won 85 medals at the French Junior Championships and set 14 national age group records between 2016 and 2024. His coaching philosophy, focused on team spirit, technical development, and personal achievement, will elevate Peel Aquatic to the next level.
Renan has also expanded his knowledge through travel. He visited the United States to learn from world-renowned coaches such as Bob Bowman at Arizona State University and Dave Durden at the University of Berkeley, further enhancing his sports science and swimmer physiology expertise.
His arrival at Peel Aquatic Club represents a significant milestone for our mission to develop young talents and future high-level swimmers. Renan is committed to applying his extensive experience to help our swimmers, whether beginners or competitors, achieve their personal and competitive goals through high-quality coaching.
We are confident that Renan will inspire and motivate all our members while attracting new talents eager to join a dynamic and ambitious club. We invite all passionate swimmers to join us in this exciting journey and benefit from Renan's expertise to reach new heights.
