Coach Randy L  –  Water Polo - [email protected]

Coach Randy has been making waves since before he could even tie his shoes—starting swim lessons at just 2 years old and diving into competition by the age of 4.

A proud Villa Park High School alum, Randy was a four-year varsity letterman before heading to USC, where he continued his swimming journey at the collegiate level.

Today, he brings his passion and expertise to the Silver and Gold groups at OC Gold Aquatics, while also serving as a dedicated coach at VPHS for the past 17 years. With a lifetime in the water and decades of coaching experience, Coach Randy knows exactly how to inspire swimmers to reach their personal best—while keeping practices challenging, motivating, and fun!

A former collegiate swimmer at Biola University, she’s honed her skills through coaching roles at Mater Dei High School, Costa Mesa Aquatics Club Masters, and Irvine Novaquatics’ Pre-Competitive programs.

At OC Gold, Coach Celine leads our Bronze Group and Summer Team, creating practices that are as motivating as they are meaningful. Her coaching philosophy is all about sparking a love for the sport, building strong fundamental skills, and fostering a positive, purposeful environment where every swimmer can thrive—both in and out of the water.

Coach Clara - Pre Team 

From high school standout to collegiate competitor, Coach Clara’s swimming journey is nothing short of impressive. At Moline High School, she was the Sectional Runner-Up in the 200 free, earned the Most Dedicated Award, qualified for State in the 200 free, and even set school records in both the 200 medley relay and 200 free relay.

Now a senior at Chapman University and a student-athlete on the Swim & Dive Team, Clara continues to bring her competitive spirit and love for the sport to every practice. With two years of coaching experience at OC Gold Aquatics and time at Swim Safe Swim School, she’s passionate about helping swimmers of all levels improve their skills, gain confidence, and have fun in the water.

Coach Adam - Lessons and Water Polo

Adam’s aquatic journey began at just 5 years old, diving into both swimming and water polo with a local club team. Over the years, his dedication and talent shined—especially in water polo—where he was a multi-year varsity athlete with multiple CIF appearances to his name.

This past year, Adam proudly graduated from VP high school, capping off an impressive chapter in both sports. His aquatics career is far from over—he plans to continue swimming and playing water polo competitively throughout college, keeping his passion for the water alive. When he’s not training or coaching, you can find Adam enjoying the great outdoors—whether it’s casting a fishing line or hitting the golf course. His love for sports, both in and out of the pool, inspires the energy and enthusiasm he brings to every lesson.
