Chattahoochee Gold Swimmer Bound for JMU
Chattahoochee Gold is one of the first teams in the nation to be awarded Level 4 status by USA Swimming.
"Super excited to announce that I have verbally committed to swim for James Madison University! Go Dukes!!!” That's a very passionate Bailey Dopfel with word that she'll head for Harrisonburg, Virginia in fall of 2018 to swim for the JMU Dukes.
Bailey competes for the year-round club team Chattahoochee Gold and her high school team, the Pope High Greyhounds, in Marietta.
Over the summer Bailey finished in the top ten in 200 Breast Stroke at the 2017 Georgia Senior State Championship meet.

Chattahoochee Gold Head Coach & Owner Pat Murphy says, "Bailey has been on Chattahoochee Gold since third grade so it’s hard to imagine that the time has flown by. She was impressed by the team and coaches at James Madison, and based on previous swimmers who have gone there, we can expect that she’ll develop to her full potential there."
