Personal life Marina Chan comes from a prominent Singaporean family. She is the daughter of Bernard Chan, an Olympic swimmer and niece of Pat Chan, dubbed "Singapore's Golden Girl". Her other uncle is renowned composer Mark Chan and her aunt, Victoria Chan-Palay, was also a President's Scholar who went on to be first in her class at Harvard Medical School and is the first woman to graduate summa cum laude from Harvard Medical School. She is a notable neuroscientist who has worked in the United States and Switzerland as an Alzheimer's expert. Marina is also the granddaughter of the decorated swimming coach Chan Ah Kow. When asked about her family's success and the pressure to live up to it, Chan replied "It's a family legacy and I should be proud of it. There's a bit of pressure, but in a good way. (But) I want to be my own swimmer."

In July 2014, Chan was one of the 300 athletes to receive the Singapore Olympic Foundation Peter Lim Scholarship. Launched in 2010, the scholarship aims to provide financial assistance to outstanding young athletes from financially challenged backgrounds to facilitate their pursuit in sports excellence. Upon receiving the award Chan stated that she will use it to focus towards how she is able to improve her training. "So with that financial help, I'll be able to go overseas for training camps. That is the type of support I need to push myself further."
