Early life and education

Murez was born to Melanie (Goodman) Murez, who runs a language translation company (Language.net), and Jim Murez, a computer consultant and contractor who runs the Venice Farmers' Market (he swam competitively in high school and in college during his freshman year).[4][5][6][7][8][9] She is Jewish, and was raised in the United States.[5][6][7]

Her paternal grandfather, Joe Murez, grew up in pre-WWII Austria on the Danube River, swam competitively for the Jewish Hakoah Vienna Sports Club in the 1930s, and related how during Hitler’s annexation of Austria, Nazis would gather around the pool to beat up Jewish swimmers.[7][8][10][11] He immigrated to the United States in 1938, serving in the U.S. Army Intelligence Corps.[11] He then became one of the largest garlic growers in the world, and ultimately introduced his granddaughter Andi to swimming.[7][11][12]

Her father's stepfather, Raymond Federman, who was Jewish, was 14 years old when his parents hid him in a small stairway landing closet as Gestapo arrived at the family home in Nazi-occupied France.[12] His family was taken away, and his parents and two sisters were killed in the Auschwitz concentration camp.[12] Federman hid from the Nazis on farms in southern France during the Holocaust.[12] He later became a leading backstroker on the French national team, and emigrated to the U.S. in 1947, where he became an English professor, an expert on author Samuel Beckett, and a novelist.[12]

Murez's brother, Zachary (Zak), who is three years older than she is, set five swim records at Venice High School.[7] He won 10 medals (four of them gold) in the 2003 Pan-American Maccabi Games in Santiago, Chile, and then swam for the Yale University swim team, before studying for a master's degree in computer science at UC San Diego.[7][11][12]
