Gold Swimmer One Step Closer to Olympic Dream

At the Speedo Junior National Swimming Championships in San Antonio, Texas, Chattahoochee Gold swimmer Alarii Levreault-Lopez placed 8th in the nation in the 200 Butterfly event. His time of 2:01.50 qualifies him to take part in the U.S. Olympic Trials.

Because Levreault-Lopez has dual American-Mexican citizenship, he hopes to compete in the Olympic games in 2016 or 2020 for Mexico or the United States.

Several weeks ago, he took part in Mexico’s National Long Course Swimming Championships in Guadalajara. Levreault-Lopez captured the 18 & under Mexican National Championship in 100 Butterfly and the 18 & under and overall championships in 200 Butterfly.

He’ll soon continue his swim training with a new team. Levreault-Lopez heads for Baton Rouge, Louisiana to swim for Louisiana State University.

Chattahoochee Gold is a USA Swimming year round swim club headquartered in Woodstock which trains swimmers at the Woodstock Aquatic Center, Cherokee County Aquatic Center, Mountain View Aquatic Center in East Cobb and Cumming Aquatic Center.
