What a year! 2025 was filled with projects that made waves in all the best ways. Take a look back with us – and thank you for being part of the journey.

RED BULL MAGAZINE
The Red Bulletin featured Aqualillies this year in a powerful profile on artistic swimming, spotlighting the athleticism behind the sport. The feature showcased members of our Los Angeles team, including former Olympians, U.S. National Team athletes, and elite nationally competitive artistic swimmers now performing with Aqualillies.

JAWS 50 YEARS CELEBRATION IN MARTHA’S VINEYARD
We touched down on Martha’s Vineyard (aka Amity Island) this summer to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s iconic 1975 film, Jaws. We loved making a splash in honor of a true cinematic legend!

ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH 2025
Aqualillies took center stage during Miami Art Week with a watershow residency at the Shelborne Miami Beach, as part of Venture X Gold Hour at Alex Prager’s Mirage Swim Club. The immersive experience blended Prager’s signature surrealism with live performances in the pool.

GRAY MALIN X HUALĀLAI
We celebrated our fifth collaboration with Gray Malin this year, shot on location at the Four Seasons Resort Hualālai in Hawai‘i – the project was a truly special experience in an extraordinary setting.

MIAMI E-PRIX WITH FORMULA E
Aqualillies performed at the Miami E-Prix with Formula E this year, appearing at the opening night party during race weekend at one of the world’s leading international electric motorsport events.

NYC SUMMER SHOWS
Performing at New York Fashion Week was a highlight of the year for our NYC ’Lillies. They also appeared across the city and beyond, with favorite performances in Times Square and Williamsburg, and at a range of luxury events across the Hamptons.

YOUTUBE’S 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY AT VIDCON
We were thrilled to dive in for YouTube at VidCon 2025 in Anaheim, celebrating their 20-year anniversary. Our synchronized swimming performance was part of a series of playful activations, from skee-ball and mini golf to pool floaties, tiny foods, and real flamingos.

AQUALILLIES ACROSS EUROPE
We performed across Europe this year. Our shows took us to St. Tropez, Provence, the Turkish Riviera, and Barcelona for private celebrations and destination weddings.

ORIGIN SHORT FILM BY MONSTERS DANCE
ORIGIN is a short film exploring the physical allegory of molting, memory, and our collective ascent toward the unknown. We were thrilled to be part of this special project, filmed in 2023 and featured this year at the BronzeLens Film Festival in Atlanta.

SUMMER WATERSHOW AT THE MAYBOURNE BEVERLY HILLS
We hosted this year’s Summer Watershow at the stunning rooftop pool at The Maybourne Beverly Hills. Thank you to everyone who joined us in person and via our Instagram Livestream. We were honored to celebrate Esther Williams’ legacy on her birthday, alongside her husband, Edward Bell (featured below).

Our ’Willies had a number of memorable appearances this year! Highlights included the premiere party of Mid-Century Modern at the Pendry West Hollywood and a fall performance in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at a Pink Pony Club-themed birthday celebration. Our ’Lillies and ’Willies also shared the pool for multiple shows, including many performances in one of our favorite locations: Palm Springs.

Even without a pool, our ’Lillies found plenty of ways to make waves this year. We performed our synchronized swimming-inspired “dry” show at Manhatta in New York City for the +POOL Summer Gala, as well as at private events in Los Angeles.

We’re grateful to have been part of so many special events, celebrations, private soirées, and grand openings this year. Take a look at a few more highlights from our year.
