CN d\u2019Antibes trains at the World Aquatic Training Centre in the south of France. Many national teamers from Latin American, Caribbean, and African countries train with the team under Vergnoux. Before CN d\u2019Antibes, Vergnoux served as the head coach of the Belgian National Team for about a year. He worked for nine years at Spain\u2019s National Training Center prior to that, leading names such as Mireia Belmonte Garcia<\/a><\/strong> to Olympic success.<\/p>\n

McIntosh, who recently added three gold medals and world records to her resume at 2024 Short Course World Championships, makes the move to France from Florida. There, the 18-year-old trained for the Paris Olympics with the Sarasota Sharks under Brent Arckey<\/a><\/b>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In February, however, McIntosh announced<\/a> this season would be her last season with Arckey and that she was in search of a permanent pro training group. The star mentioned Bob Bowman\u2019s Texas group as an option she\u2019s considering.<\/p>\n

McIntosh is one of several superstars opting to train in a different part of the world for the post-Olympic year. Instead of returning to his U.S. training base, world record holder Leon Marchand<\/strong><\/a> <\/b>opted to temporarily train in Australia <\/a>under Dean Boxall<\/a><\/b> to kick off the year. Italian Olympic Champions Thomas Ceccon <\/b>and Nicolo Martinenghi<\/b> also left their home country for training stints down under<\/a>. All of the aforementioned swimmers said that they believed a change of scenery would benefit their long-term motivation and growth.<\/p>\n
