He is married to a former Olympic swimmer Natalya Shibayeva. Their daughter Kateryna Zubkova (born 14 July 1988) is also an Olympic swimmer.[4] Zubkov was trained by Gennadi Touretski, and after retirement became a swimming coach himself.[5] In 2007, he was banned for six years from international swimming competitions after a fight with his daughter at the World Championships. The daughter did not blame Zubkov for the incident, and the case was dismissed by the Australian police. However, the brawl was filmed by a security camera and circulated worldwide, thereby damaging the reputation of swimming.[6]
