It’s a huge honor to welcome Fred Swegles to our team here at San Clemente Times and Picket Fence Media. Starting this week, Fred will be writing a weekly column for the SC Times titled “CoastLines by Fred Swegles” in which he’ll provide his unique perspective on our amazing community, leveraging his 46 years of experience writing for various local newspapers, most recently the now-defunct Sun Post.

I’ve gotten to know Fred professionally over the past 18 years since moving my family to San Clemente, especially over the past 13 since I started the SC Times in 2006, and I’ve had nothing but admiration and appreciation for him and his thoughtful work. His voice and perspective are important parts of our community, and I’m thrilled that the SC Times can provide a forum for Fred to continue to chronicle life in this unique beach town many of us are lucky to call home.
