Staff Report

Chattahoochee Gold swimmer Nicole Sullivan is excited to receive a scholarship to Birmingham-Southern College and swim for the BSC Panthers. “The coaches and team are fantastic, and when my recruiting trip ended I didn’t want to leave. I fell in love with the college and the team, and I know it’s where I belong.”

Nicole has been swimming year-round since she was 13, for the past two-and-a-half years for Chattahoochee Gold team at the Cumming Aquatic Center. “Swimming with Gold has been incredible. Gold is like a second family to me. My teammates are some of my closest and best friends. My coaches have all been phenomenal. They are very caring and supportive, and I would not be the person or swimmer I am today without them.”

Her proudest moment swimming for Gold was “getting my first senior state cut (qualifying time for a statewide meet). I was competing at High School State my sophomore year and when I finished the 100 Backstroke and saw my time on the clock, I thought I was dreaming. It showed me that anything is possible if you are motivated, train hard, and believe in yourself.”

Nicole’s a senior at North Forsyth High School where she swims for the Raiders, is a member of the National Honor Society, National Technical Honor Society and DECA.

She’ll major in Business/Marketing at Birmingham-Southern.

Chattahoochee Gold trains swimmers at the Cumming Aquatic Center in Cumming, Woodstock Aquatic Center in Woodstock, Cherokee Aquatic Center in Holly Springs and Mountain View Aquatic Center in Marietta.
