Isaac ShriderYouth Programs Director
My role at RFR I oversee day to day operations at the Rec Center, lifeguard and teach swimming lessons. I am really excited to be at the Rec Center to help it grow and continue to make it a place that is driven by the community. My favorite RFR program or event I love teaching our swimming lessons! You get to see the students progress from class to class, and learn with them. It is very rewarding knowing you are helping the kids learn a skill they will know for the rest of their lives. Why I love the Bayfield area This seems like a common sense answer to me! I love the Bayfield area because of all the outdoor opportunities. I grew up sailing and exploring the islands on Lake Superior with my parents and have continued to grow more attached to the area over the years. |

Alec MalenfantNorth Coast Community Sailing Director
Facilities Technician My role at RFR I'll be the head instructor/program manager for North Coast Community Sailing! I'm in charge of just about everything sailing related from class curriculum to the health of the boats themselves. My favorite RFR program or event Sailing is the way. Make the wind work for you! Why I love the Bayfield area There's just too long a list to pick one thing! The cliffs and caves for their visual beauty, the islands for the way they play with the wind, the inland lakes and the way they freeze for wild skating, not to mention the solidarity of the community up here supporting each other, there's just too much! |

Ruth Anne TeisbergMy Role at RFR
I am happy to be teaching Aqua Fit at the Rec Center's beautiful pool. I was a participant in Aqua Fit classes at the Oxford Pool in St Paul for many years and really enjoy being able to share some beneficial techniques. I continue to introduce new activities into my routines and try to keep the Class enjoying their exercise. It is as social or focused as you choose and it is always fun. Water is a safe way to get a challenging workout because it is non-impact. Thanks to all the athletes and staff who keep us safe and moving. My Favorite RFR Program or Event I love to do swim laps, Water Aerobics, and am glad there are opportunities to take Swim Lessons. I also enjoy Silver Sneakers, it compliments the water workout on land. Why I love the Bayfield Area I grew up on Madeline Island all the Summers of my youth, worked on the Island all summer during the 60's, went roller skating and to the movies in Bayfield and spent plenty of time in the Lake. I moved to Madeline permanently after I retired from teaching and feel as though I am home. I have seven siblings, six of us have homes on the Island, 3 year round, the other two come visit as much as they can. Needless to say, we love Madeline Island and this entire area. |
