About
Greenmeadow Community Association Aquatics & Youth Programs offers lap swim, recreational swim, swim lessons, and a swim team, along with yoga and a kids’ Day Camp program. The program also includes community events such as a July 4th Parade and celebration, picnics, seasonal parties, progressive dinners, parades, concerts in the park, and food trucks.
From its start in 1954, Greenmeadow was designed to be a family community, and more than fifty years later the Greenmeadow Community Association has evolved into a tightly knit diverse community. The association is a family-oriented community association and swim club in a historic Eichler neighborhood in south Palo Alto, CA, and describes itself as a warm, open community with much to offer both kids and adults. It is a non-profit civic organization and is on the National Registry of Historic Neighborhoods. The community is active and engaged, with diverse neighbors who cooperate on a volunteer basis to organize and run programs that members and their guests can enjoy, and it maintains active online discussion groups. Greenmeadow features a beautiful pool, a new clubhouse, and a community center, pool, and park, with year-round lap and recreational swim in a heated pool and clubhouse hours from 6am to midnight. The July 4th Parade and celebration is described as locally famous, and members receive discounted facility rental. Anyone may join, including residents of the Greenmeadow neighborhood and families or individuals living outside Greenmeadow.
The leadership team includes Club Manager Loree Watanabe, Program Coordinator Anna Contreras, and Assistant Manager and Head Coach Kent Stietzel. Loree Watanabe is a Bay Area native who grew up at a neighborhood cabana club spending summers swimming and playing tennis, is a lifelong aquatics enthusiast with a background in competitive swimming, is also a Masters swim coach, and has work experience primarily in nonprofit management and fundraising, including managing a local YMCA and grant writing for a library foundation. Program Coordinator Anna Contreras has a background in providing Learn-to-Swim lessons for youth of all ages, has over 10 years of experience in aquatics, began working as a swim instructor at Santa Clara Swim Club, gained experience working with the swim program’s special abilities program, and has served as a Deck Supervisor, Admin Staff for the Swim School, and pre-competitive swim coach. Assistant Manager and Head Coach Kent Stietzel is a certified Aquatics Facility Operator, has managed various pools including Fairbrae Swim & Racquet Club in Sunnyvale and Camp Campbell in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and has Head Coaching experience spanning Summer League, High School, and USA Swimming Teams.
