French Olympian Fantine Lesaffre on Training with NC State, Struggling with Burnout

The SwimSwam Podcast

We sat down with French Olympian Fantine Lesaffre, who recently made the move to train at NC State, following her boyfriend there who is getting his masters and training there as well. Fantine takes us through what it’s like to train with the wolfpack and how it is radically different from her old training base in France. She also dives into her last few years of training leading up to the 2020 Olympic Games and how she struggled so much in that lead-up that she almost stepped away from swimming altogether.
