Asphalt Green

We want to congratulate our soccer Community Sports League for closing out a fantastic 2024 season! ⚽️ For eight weeks, nearly 350 players across 19 teams and three boroughs came through the gates of Asphalt Green to give their all in competitive, well-natured, fun games. We also want to give a huge shout out to our staff who ran the largest league we've ever hosted! A special congratulations to MS161 for ending the season as undefeated champions. We can't wait to see these players back on Litwin Field for the 2025 season!

I don't write about swimming on here, but I am now or at least I am today anyway. 🤷♂️ Swimming has been part of my life since I was 12...it actually WAS my life from age 12 to 22. As a closeted gay person, swimming WAS my identity - it was my life, it was my outlet, it was (for the most part) my safe space. ❤️ After completing my swimming career in 1999 as a member of University of Nevada-Las Vegas Men's and Women's Swim and Dive Team, I didn't really jump back into the water seriously until November 2019 when I joined Asphalt Green's AGUA Masters Swim Team. Best decision ever. 🏊♂️ Since then, I've competed in two U.S. Masters Swimming Nationals, and found a group of people that have become family - and once again swimming has become my safe space. I've been job searching for the past year, and if I didn't have swimming, or my teammates (and my husband obviously), I'm not sure in which mental state I would be. 😬 Last weekend, I competed in my second Masters Nationals, earned best (masters) times in all of my events, and brought home some hardware. Love, love, LOVE my swim fam!

Join us in congratulating our @aguaswim swimmers who have committed to swim at the collegiate level this fall! We are so proud of all the hard work they've done in the pool and the classroom. We can't wait to see what's in store for all of you!

We're honored to welcome athletes from all around the globe to train at our facilities. This month, we were excited to host four-time Paralympic gold medalist and world record Italian swimmer Antonio Fantin for a practice session in our Olympic pool at our Upper East Side campus. Before his speech at the United Nations, Antonio chatted with us about breaking world records, workout snacks, and the importance of sports, fitness, and play for all.

AGUA swimmer Dylan Rhee qualified for the 2024 Olympic Trials! We hope you'll join us in cheering him on as he competes side by side with the best swimmers in our country. Watch Dylan on June 18 as he represents our entire community in Indianapolis

No matter your sport. No matter how you play. No matter where you are in your fitness journey. We're there for every dive, kick, rep, and everything in between. Because when everyone has equal access to sports, fitness, and play — we ALL win!

As Water Safety Month winds down, we want to give you a peek behind the curtain of our efforts to make critical, life-saving swim lessons accessible to all, from launching our Wave Makers program to providing 400 scholarships to our AGUA swim team to further develop our adaptive swim instruction. We are honored to partner with USA Swimming, the Gray Foundation, Shekar Krishnan, and Julie Menin as we continue to teach thousands — of all abilities — how to swim.
