France concludes these World Swimming Worlds with 8 medals, including 4 titles, placing a better European nation and 3rd best world nation. A success allowed by swimmers who have placed themselves as the best of their disciplines, but also thanks to the depth of a complete team.
CLAP End for these World Swimming Championships in Singapore. The 2025 edition will have marked the return to the forefront of a French team which completes its Worlds in 3rd place in the Table of Medals.

This performance was permitted by the two titles of the essential Leon Marchand, elected the best swimmer of these Worlds, but also of Maxime Grousset. The Neo-Caledonian marked the competition of his footprint after the disappointment of the Olympic Games last year (only one bronze medal in relay). Titled on the 50 and 100 m butterfly (European record in the key), it has established itself as one of the most prominent swimmers.

The protege of Michel Chrétien would also have been of the two French medalist relays, with the bronze of the 4×100 m freestyle and the silver of the 4×100 m 4 swimming to conclude this magnificent week. His choice of steps to line up on the 50 m freestyle will have been more than paying since he is the most prolific French of the Worlds with his 4 medals including 2 in gold.
Behind the headliners, a density found
Behind we find Marchand and his 3 medals, but also Yohann Ndoye-Brouart. The back specialist went to get 2 individual podiums in addition to the money from the 4×100 4 swim relay that he ideally launched. On the round trip, he won a 3rd place with a canon time of 51 “92, French record of Camille Lacourt Batu.

In addition to these individual medals, the relays participated in French success with two medals. Jérémie Delbois, Clément Secchi, Rafael Fente-Damers and Albane Cachot fully contributed to it even if they did not take part in the finals for which they qualified France, illustrating the growing density of a French team. Yann Le Goff (twice medalist), Marie Wattel and Béryl Gastaldelo have relayed in the final and show that they have their places at the highest level. Only small disappointment, the absence of an individual medal for the female contingent, which has all the time to let its nuggets progress by the next big deadline, the European championships organized in Paris in 2026. For the Blues, it is “Mission accomplished”, as summarized by DTN, Denis Auguin.
