      This is our first meet of the season with our friends from Park Forest, so we need a big turnout of swimmers and parents.  Come join the fun of a summer swim meet at Welch. Meet other team parents and swimmers.  Remember with each volunteered half, Welch Parent volunteers earn a chance to win a free 2016 swim team registration/CRPR pool pass or team suit for 2016.

  5. We still have a need to fill a number of parent volunteer/management positions for this season and next season.  The Welch Swim Team has a long tradition of providing many additional fun activities for our swimmers.  We can only provide these activities with the valued help of our swim parents.  If you or a group have an interest to help in any of the areas of need please see or email your Team Parent Rep., Sean Flynn.
And of course... GO WELCH SHARKS! :-D
