Polyakov was born in [[Petropavl]], [[Kazakh SSR]], the son of Vitaliy Polyakov and Galina Polyakova. During his early childhood, his family moved to [[Moscow, Russia]], where he started swimming at the CSKA Red Army Club, one of Russia's top sports clubs. He was put in a national program for elite swimmers, and was forced to undergo a rigorous training that left him fatigued and mentally ill.<ref name=polyakov>{{cite news|last=Robb|first=Sharon|title=Where Dreams Come True|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2000-10-10/sports/0010100075_1_water-polo-breaststroker-michael-lohberg|publisher=[[Sun-Sentinel]]|date=10 October 2000|accessdate=21 May 2013}}</ref> In June 1999, Polyakov came to the United States under the guidance of his mother Galina, concerned about her son's lifetime goals. Polyakov almost gave up his sporting career before he decided to leave Eastern Europe: "At the time I left Russia I was sick mentally, I didn't want to go through another hard practice. I was so dead I was thinking about quitting swimming."<ref name=polyakov/>
