CHAMPS (10 & Under) - Welch Parent Volunteers (8 needed)
Welch Sharks Parents, we are 2 days from the start of CHAMPS-littles (age 10 & under) at Penns Valley (Millheim – Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Park). We need to fill 8 more of our required Welch Parent Meet Volunteer spots. Nice work, but we still have “miles to go before I sleep or is it 23 miles until we swim at CHAMPS (10 & under)?” ...it's both -- see Google Maps ;-)
Unlike a regular season meet which uses two (2) timers
and records the average of the two (2) watch times per lane, a CHAMPS meet uses
three (3) timers with the recorded time being the watch time that is
between the upper and lower watch times.
Let’s fill these Welch Parent positions and root on our younger Sharks to have a
great CHAMPS meet.

- 2015 CHAMPS Littles (10 & Under) TUE 7/30 at Penns Valley (Millheim) - Parent meet volunteer sign-up
Let’s try and fill these Welch Parent Meet Volunteer positions
before WED (7/29) and then be able
to focus our undivided attention to root on our Welch Shark Swimmers.
From Welch Pool, State College – Continue on S. Atherton
St.(Rt. 322-business) towards and into Boalsburg. Make a LEFT onto Rt.45 EAST (Earleystown Rd.)
at the traffic light nearest Kelly’s Steak House and Boalsburg Motor Cars. Continue 18.7 miles on Rt. 45 in to the town
of Millheim. The Milllheim Pool at the
Soldier's and Sailor's Memorial Park is located just off Park Road in Millheim,
PA. From the intersection of Routes 45
and 445 (aka North Street) in downtown Millheim (zip 16854) head EAST on Route
45 until you cross the bridge. Park Road is the first LEFT after the bridge.
Follow Park Road until you see the park entrance on your left.
GO WELCH SHARKS!

CHAMPS 2015 Important Info... 7/20 post
It's the 9th and final week of the season. After this week, you'll be asking yourself "with summer swim season over, what will I now do with my TUE & THU summer nights?"
Yes, I understand that you'll certainly also have extra time after the season because you won't have read anymore of my 2.5 seasons of the team's blog/fb postings and volunteer pleas. ;-)
Don't miss an opportunity to be a very valuable part of your swimmer's team activity. So sign up now, it's easy, convenient and only a very close-by click away. :-)
