Team Photos will be scheduled at 8:30AM. Individual and buddy photos can be taken between 8am-8:30 and following the team shot. The process to take individual photos and the team photo usually takes about 1 hour. The order form with pricing is attached (coming soon) - copies will be provided the day of pictures.

Following pictures, we are inviting all Rockets Families & Friends to join us at Sunsplash in Roseville for a day of fun at the waterpark from 11am-5pm.

Tickets for Sunsplash are $35 per person (all who enter must have a ticket - we got lucky and they gave us the school rate this year). Venmo Michelle-Blanton-- (1dash in the middle, 2 dashes at the end or 916-284-9275) and comment Sunsplash!

What is a Swim-A-Thon? A fun challenge to see how many laps each swimmer can swim in a given time and a fun way to raise money for the Rockets!

Step 1: COLLECT PLEDGES - There are two ways to collect pledges:

(1) Online Fundraiser Page - instructions below

(2) traditional pledge sheet - available on the website in the 'team resource' tab

Step 2: Add to our Auction and Raffle

AUCTION - Help us secure donations for our auction, and bid on your favorite items!  Themed gift baskets Gift cards or certificates Services or unique experiences Items swimmers and their families will love! Let us know how you can help in the job sign-up!

RAFFLES - We are collecting small toys and items that swimmers would like to win in a raffle. All swimmers attending the Swimathon will be given 10 raffle tickets to enter into several prize drawings. Ideas for donation: small gift cards to kid favs, toys, water toys, art kits/supplies...anything fun for kids and teens. A box to collect any donations you may have will be placed at the Rollingwood Y Front Desk.

Step 3: SWIM - Swimmers will swim for 10 to 30 minutes, depending on practice groups. See JOB SIGNUP to choose a time slot and see time blocks for each group. Sign up each kid for a session by signing up (like you do for volunteering) for a slot that correlates to their age group. 

Step 4: HAVE FUN! - Party in the outdoor pool starting at 7pm!

*Swimmers who raise $100 or more in pledges will be invited to attend the '$100 Club Pool Party' on July  from 6pm-8pm.

Instructions for Creating a Fundraiser Page:

Rollingwood Rockets Swim-A-Thon 2026

Set up your fundraising page!

We’re excited to launch the Rollingwood Rockets Swim-A-Thon 2026 to support our swimmers and team goals. Each family can make a big impact by setting up a personal or team fundraising page and inviting friends and family to contribute. Below are step-by-step instructions to help you get started.

Step 1: Visit our Swim-A-Thon Fundraising Website Here (coming soon!)

Step 2: Click “Become a Fundraiser”

On the main landing page, click the “Become a Fundraiser” button to set up your swimmer’s personal fundraising page, join a team, or create a new team fundraiser.

Step 3: Set up an Individual Page, Join a Team, or Create a Team

You’ll have the option to:

• Create an Individual Page: use this page to share your story and receive support from family and friends.
• Create a Team: great option for siblings! Create a family team page so that your swimmers can fundraise individually or together.
• Join a Team: join an existing team that someone else already created.

No matter which option you choose, all funds roll up into the grand total and help support the Rockets!

Step 4: Personalize Your Fundraising Page

After creating or joining a team, you'll be prompted to:

• Enter your name and email
• Set a fundraising goal (e.g. $100, $250, or whatever works for your family)
• Write a short message explaining why you’re participating
• Upload a photo (optional but encouraged!)

Feel free to include your swimmer’s name and a personal note about why this fundraiser matters to your family.

Step 5: Start Fundraising

Once your page is set up, share it with friends and family and post on social media.

Be sure to thank everyone who donates—it makes a big difference! Collect donations by June 19th, please.
