CRPR Aqua Dog Day is SUN 9/13/15 at Park Forest Pool

Welch Sharks it is that time again to reward with some puppy pool time of their own your faithful dog-buddy who was so patient ...and of course, well behaved at home while you spent numerous hours at practices and swim meets this summer.

Bring your buddy out to CRPR's Aqua Dog Day on Sunday, SEP 13 at the Park Forest Pool from 1 PM to 4 PM.  They will enjoy the shallow kiddie pool and the main pool areas.  It is a great time for all.  Proceeds benefit additional tree plantings at Oak Hall Regional Park.  See more info below.

Tie-Dying on TUESDAY, JULY 14

We will hold our annual Welch Tie Dye Day on Tuesday, July 14 after each practice session.

Please bring a white, 100% cotton t-shirt (or other clothing item(s)) that is already tied with rubber bands to Tuesday, July 14 morning practice.  Place your last name with a laundry marker/sharpie somewhere on your shirt (preferably on the shirt's tag or on multiple tags made from a piece of masking tape that is folded over itself onto the rubber bands - please make several tape tags in case a rubber band breaks).  Dyes will be available after each practice session.

Do you need design/fold ideas?  There are many online sources available that provide many ways to rubber-band shirts to get that tie-dye look you may want.

• Classic Spiral Tie-Dye
• Tie-dyeing a Peace Sign (Whoa, far out ...that's way cool!) 
• Tie-dying Shoelaces
• How to videos are also easy to find online

We need and welcome volunteers to help after each swim session.  Parents are encouraged to assist their younger children.  If you already contributed your suggested $2 per family tie-dye donation to cover supply costs, thank you for your generosity.  If you still have not made the family fundraising/tie-dye donation, please submit that as soon as possible.  This is a fun team activity and we look forward to seeing everyone participate and show their creative team spirit.

Parents, you too can participate and tie-dye so that you can display your creativity and Welch Team Spirit when you wear your Welch Tie-Dye to our meets.

Welch Tie-Dye Take Home Instructions:

• Keep shirt in the plastic bag and let it cure/set up for at least 4 hours but preferably 24 hours for the brightest colors.
• Once set, it's time to unwrap!  This can be done either in a sink, tub or outside.  Please note these dyes can still stain.  Leaving ties on, rinse under cold running water (faucet, shower, or hose) to stop the dye reaction.
• Next rinse in warm water while you untie the folds and keep rinsing until the water runs fairly clear.
• Throw in machine as soon as it is rinsed, running through a full wash cycle.  You will see a lot of dye pouring out while rinsing...this is normal.  Wash and dry separately for the first few wash cycles.
