Waterproofing
Expanding Access to Swim
For over a decade, Asphalt Green’s Waterproofing program has been the leading free swim-instruction program in New York City, helping thousands of public school students learn to safely enjoy the water.
We share this free program to teach second-grade students this essential, life-preserving skill while also helping them develop confidence and perseverance.
