Welch Banquet update
Sunday (7/25) is our scheduled Welch Team Banquet/Picnic at the Welch Pool. We will celebrate our team's 2015 swim season with food, awards, slideshow (weather permitting) AND of course, swimming.
As with any outdoor event, we must be alert to the weather and based upon weather information will make every attempt to provide you with updated info and a go or no go call before 12 noon if possible. Therefore, please monitor our Welch blog and facebook page for updates from late morning and afterwards. Also note that we can still have the banquet with some mild rain. However, we would not be able to present the slideshow if it is raining. Alternate viewing options would be attempted.

Welch Team Practice Updates & Some Time Changes
Welcome our
Guests
Welch swimmers and parents please
be advised that Park Forest pool is closed due to pool problems and we will be welcoming
Park Forest swimmers to our morning practices.
We ask that any and all swimmers in the 11/12 and 9/10 age group to come to the
earlier practice from 7-8am if
possible. This will take some pressure off the size of our normal 8-9am
practice.
There will be pool space for
those that come at the regular hour but it will be tight.
We can still have fun this week
and show those frogs just how awesome we are!
If you have any questions please
contact the coaches on their email account: welchcoaches@gmail.com
Thank You and let’s get ready to
swim hard and fast for Champs. Let’s go SHARKS!
