French champion Leon Marchand becomes Speedo ambassador
Four-time Olympic Gold medallist and seven-time World Champion, Léon Marchand will be wearing Speedo’s colours as global ambassador for the Pentland-owned swimwear brand. The French prodigy came to fame last year at the Paris Olympics wearing Speedo’s Fastskin Valor suit. 

The athlete commented: “I’ve grown up with Speedo - it’s been with me every step of my journey. For me, not fearing failure is what drives success. This is something that’s been engrained in Speedo’s culture throughout its history, creating some of the most iconic moments in the sport.”

The collaboration with Speedo comes as no surprise but will extend beyond the pool the brand said. The star swimmer will be involved in product innovation and future swimwear and equipment for the next generation of champions. As part of the Speedo family, he will also mentor the next generation of athletes.
