VOLUNTEER, COMPETE, OR BOTH AT BIG SWIM!

Asphalt Green's annual Big Swim event is coming up on Saturday, May 4, and we could use some help!

 

Big Swim offers swimmers of all ages and skill levels the opportunity to experience the thrill of competitive swimming. This year, all participants will race to be crowned the fastest swimmer in Manhattan!

 

We rely on volunteers to ensure Big Swim is a day to remember for all participants involved. In addition to giving back to the NYC Swim community, volunteering for Big Swim is a great way to connect with fellow Asphalt Green community members. 

 

Please contact Coach Jim Wu at jwu@asphaltgreen.org to volunteer. Working hours start at 9am.
