Lucien Vergnes

Lucien is a swimmer from France, a breaststroke specialist and a sprinter, whose official competitive record spans 7 seasons, 8 countries and 32 meets.

His recorded career begins in 2020 in Toulouse, where he raced the 200 backstroke in 2:14.90.

His signature event is the 100 breaststroke, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 200 breaststroke and 200 individual medley. Breaststroke is the backbone of the whole record: 31 meets and 65 recorded swims.

His fastest 100 breaststroke stands at 1:00.77, set in long course (50 m) at French Elite 2024.

His record includes the World Cup circuit, between 2022 and 2025 (FINA Swimming World Cup 2022 and World Aquatics Swimming World Cup 2025). A representative mark at that level is 58.27 in the 100 breaststroke, recorded in short course (25 m). He also appears in continental championships, national championships and international meets.

The record runs unbroken from 2020 to 2026: 7 consecutive seasons without a single missing year. 2023 is the busiest season on record, with 36 verified individual swims.

He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 8 countries (France, Spain, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Romania and the United States), including 9 of 32 meets outside France.

Those meets span 21 different venues (Canet, Nice, St. Germain En Laye and Chartres…).
