Open House Recap
This month La Madrona hosted our annual Art & Wine event for members and guests of the club who enjoyed the beautiful sunshine and various venders out on the tennis courts. We had multiple vendors set up on Court 1, including Bargetto, Ridge, and Deer Creek wines, Roden and Fields Dermatology Grade Skincare, and food supplied by Gooses Goodies and Food, Family, and Vino!
Members and guests had the opportunity to “spin the wheel” for prizes or membership specials. We had local gypsy jazz band Surf City Swing play for the event with our very own member Bill Ruskin on guitar. The event was a great opportunity to get the word out about our beautiful facility and we are excited to welcome in some new members to our club!

Welcome our new swim instructor, RACHAEL FIELDS
Rachael Fields recently moved to Santa Cruz from Sacramento where she taught English at Sierra College and American River College. In the Sacramento area, Rachael was head coach for the ALT Dolphins from 2008 to 2010. Most recently, she was head coach for the College Green Gators for the 2012 competitive season. Simultaneously, Rachael was head coach for McClatchy High School for the Spring 2012 season, leading them to win the high School championship.
In addition to competitive swim, Rachael has taught private one-on-one lessons for swimmers for the last eight years through a variety of organizations in the greater Sacramento area. Her experience includes working with swimmers of all ages and abilities, from 6 months to octogenarians!
In her spare time, Rachael is often at the pool at UCSC swimming with the Pacific Masters "Cruzers". She loves to run in Wilder Ranch, Henry Cowell, Pogonip, and Nisene Marks. She has two dogs she often takes to Its Beach. When not outside, Rachael loves to read. Most of all, she loves to spend time with her family.
This summer, she is happy to find herself at La Madrona working again one-on-one with swimmers, helping them build skill and confidence in the water! Whether you are a competitive swimmer looking to improve your times, or a first time swimmer of any age, Rachael has the skills, experience and passion to help you reach your swimming goals.
Private lessons are available with Rachael Monday through Friday at 12:00, 12:30 and 1:00pm and 3:00, 3:30, 4:00 and 4:30pm through the summer season. To schedule a lesson, view the online swim calendar on the La Madrona website at lmac.caclubs.com and follow the instructions under the "lessons" tab.
When you see Rachael by the pool, please welcome her to our wonderful La Madrona family!
