A NOTE FROM OUR TEAM
Welcome to the second edition of the AG Playbook. Last month, Asphalt Green hosted its annual gala at the American Museum of Natural History, raising over $1.22 million that will expand our programs to an unprecedented number of athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
In this month's Playbook, we offer everything you need, from Water Safety tips to fitness guides, to find joy and success in your fitness journey this summer!
SPORTS
TEACHING TOMORROW'S ALL-STARS
Asphalt Green Unified Aquatics (AGUA) continues its legacy of helping young athletes reach the highest levels of competition, with many of our seniors declaring their intention to swim at the collegiate level. In addition, we explain a few ways high-quality sports programs can support your mental health. Finally, you can get an inside look at how Asphalt Green changes lives through swim instruction and competitive aquatics.
Last month, we celebrated fifteen AGUA athletes that have committed to swim collegiately next year, including at Yale, Dartmouth, Emory University, Wesleyan University, and more.
Studies show that sports help athletes reduce anxiety, build confidence, and find social connection. These are just a few of many reasons sports can be the ultimate self-care tool.
Asphalt Green's aquatics program includes competitive teams that develop Olympic athletes, and free learn-to-swim programs that provide life-saving swim instruction.
