Jennifer Kruse is very excited to be the swim director at La Madrona. Originally from Sacramento, Jen moved to Santa Cruz in 2005 to compete with the UCSC Swim Team and has been a proud assistant swim coach for UCSC since 2007.
Jen began her competitive swimming career at the age of four at a swim club much like La Madrona. She competed for them every summer until she was eighteen. Whether you are a beginning swimmer looking to learn all the strokes or someone who has been away from the sport for many years, Jen is here to assist you. She encourages you to invite swimming into your life for safety, for fun, and for fitness.
How to schedule a lesson »
1. View Jen’s Calendar and look for the “Lesson Available” time slots.
2. E-mail Jen at jen@lamadronaclub.com with your desired lesson time.
3. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from Jen once your lessons have been reserved (usually within 24 hours).
4. Members accounts will be billed after each lesson. Non-members must pay for all reserved lessons in advance.
5. To avoid being charged for a lesson you can not keep, please notify Jen at least 24 hours before the lesson time. Lessons will not be cancelled due to rain – we are going to get wet regardless.
Thank you for your interest in swim lessons!
