Swimming is proven to support physical and cognitive development, improve mental health outcomes, reduce the risk of injury, and so much more. For decades, AGUA has transformed lives by helping thousands of New Yorkers reach swim proficiency and enjoy the amazing benefits of swimming for a lifetime.
