Spirit of Generosity Award.

SWIM FOR THE FUTURE is a special annual event that raises scholarship funds for young, dedicated and worthy swimmers who need financial support to swim with Asphalt Green’s competitive swim team, AGUA.

This scholarship fund honors the lives of two Masters Swimmers—Andrew Fisher and Doug Irgang—who tragically lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

Our family and friends and all of the Asphalt Green community are proud of this tribute and of the swimmers who have benefited from your generosity

Since 2001, 114 scholarships have been given to swimmers to swim with the AGUA team. These swimmers excelled in the swimming world at Olympic Trials, Junior Olympics, Senior Nationals, Junior Nationals, Eastern Zones Championships, Sectional Championships, and the National Junior Team while breaking personal, team, and national age group records. Their success would not be possible without you. Learn more about our past scholarship recipients here.
