Get Swimming At Asphalt Green!

Big SwimAsphalt Green, a not-for-profit organization that focuses on health and fitness for all ages, is hosting a swimming race like no other!

The Big Swim, taking place on Saturday, May 3,  is a friendly competition where little athletes can participate in a free swim meet. Diving off the blocks into a cool, 8-lane pool, kids ages 6-12 will love the excitement of Olympic-like swimming! Any and all children are invited to join in on the water fun.

In addition to the thrilling experience, all participants will be treated as winners, receiving a finisher medal, commemorative t-shirts, and a souvenir swim cap. The Big Swim Meet also provides an opportunity for youngsters to meet and greet professional swimmers and divers, including Olympians and elite athletes!

As part of their FIT KIDS FIT CITY campaign, a project that helps 30,000 New York City kids explore a healthy lifestyle through sports and fitness, Asphalt Green is also hosting the Big Swim Benefit. Proceeds from the special occasion, which includes a luncheon, an Olympic Exhibition, and crafts and games for the kids,  go to funds for the Waterproofing program, a branch of FIT KIDS FIT CITY that provides free swim instruction and water safety training to public school children.

The Language Workshop For Children

<p dir="ltr">After offering both group and private lessons for many years and analyzing the results over time, The Language Workshop for Children, founded in1973, has decided to emphasize private remote lessons at shorter intervals. Our skilled educators will focus their attention exclusively on the unique needs, learning style, and interests of your child. This allows a bond to develop between teacher and student, which has been shown to drastically improve retention. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>OUR METHOD </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Developed by the pioneers of language education for children, our programs bring decades of experience to your living room with individualized, active language classes. Each lesson is based on proven methods and materials perfected to capture your child’s attention during the ages when he/she absorbs information the fastest.   </p> <p dir="ltr">While other online language classes rely on videos for passive learning, we deliver interactive, and engaging lessons with native-fluent teachers. In addition, all our teachers are certified in the Thibaut Technique which has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and many other well-respected publications.  </p> <p dir="ltr">Our short one-on-one lessons give kids the chance to focus, hear pronunciation clearly, and practice speaking in their target language. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>THE PROCESS</strong> </p> <p dir="ltr">First, students have a short meeting with our Director Francois Thibaut, in English, with their parent(s) present. Mr. Thibaut will determine the best course of study, including class length and frequency, the right teacher, lesson format and materials (or action games for younger students.) Then the learning begins! Mr. Thibaut will continually check in on your child’s learning to assure they are getting the most of their classes. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>OTHER OFFERINGS </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">We can also help your child prepare for: the French subject tests for SAT, AP & CLEP, the European DELF/DALF, the Canadian TEF and other standardized testing, college entry exams, studying or traveling abroad, cultural changes when moving abroad, and much more! </p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-a97d759c-7fff-6e4d-8e93-70e093aa10f1"> </span></p>
