TEAM UPDATES
GREAT WORK AT MLK INVITE!
Congratulations to our athletes who raced at the 2026 MLK Invitational in our home pool on the Upper East Side! Thank you to all of our families who created an awesome racing environment for the athletes.
AGUA's highlight reel was led by Morgan Dasilva, who set a new AGUA Team Record in the 10 & Under Boys 200 Fly. His time of 2:32.61 broke the previous mark set in 2025. This was one of our team's many great swims, including personal records and new qualifications for championships.
AGUA brought home 49event wins, with Liv Doruk-Olsen (seven gold medals) and Daniel Andguladze (six gold medals) leading the way.
The AGUA coaches also thank Cassidy Chen, Anna Hsu, Esme Hynes, Rania Lafaras, Zuzu Miller, Billy-jazz Pique and Laura Strassenburgfor standing out as R.A.D. teammates over the weekend. These AGUA team members exemplified our team values of respect, accountability and discipline.
