Welcome to the 2026–2027 Rouse Swimming & Diving Season!

Good evening, Rouse Families!

Welcome to the 2026–2027 season! We're thrilled to see so many parents and swimmers already registered on SwimTopia, and we appreciate everyone who has submitted their team fees. With a nearly complete transition on the Board and a new Head Coach this year, we're working hard behind the scenes to make this a great season for you and your swimmers.

Action Items For You!

• Register on SwimTopia and pay your team fees if you haven't already.
• Support the Sponsorship Race: we're asking local businesses (dentists, eye doctors, banks, favorite restaurants, etc.) to support the team financially. There are five sponsorship levels available, plus a Meals-to-Go sponsorship option. This, along with our Group Fund Fundraiser, is our primary and most important fundraiser of the year. Please help us spread the word!

Looking Ahead

• Employer Matching Donations - We're proud to now hold our own 501(c)(3) status, which means we can accept direct donations and employer matching funds for the swim team. Many companies, including 3M and Dell, offer matching programs through platforms like Benevity. Our EIN/organization details are: EIN 39-4087916 Rouse High School Swim Booster Club
• Group Fund Fundraiser: Kicks off Thursday, 8/27. Coach has shared details on how this works. Let's get out there and support our kids!
• Concessions - 9/11 Football Game (Home Side): We'll need 20+ volunteers (10–12 adults plus swimmers) to help staff the stand. Volunteers take orders and payments and serve drinks, nachos, hot dogs, chicken biscuits, Dipping Dots, and candy. Arrival is typically 5:30–6:00 PM, with cleanup wrapping up around 10:00 PM. This event earns the team $600 for about 4.5 hours of work, a great return for a fun night!
• Concessions - 10/22 Football Game (Away Side): Similar setup and hours, earning another $600 for the team. We'll need about 10 volunteers for this game.
• Pasta Parties -  We like to host these within a night or two of a meet so the kids can carb-load and celebrate together. We're looking for a family to host at their home; a SignUpGenius will go out afterward for other families to bring supplies. You supply the space, everyone else supplies the food! We will be looking for a Host family for our September Meets- Please reply back if you can help out or sign up on SwimTopia.
• Communication - Parents please join the Group Me for parents to chat, ask questions, share information. Our name is "Rouse Swim&Dive Parents 26-27". Again- parents communication tool (I've had a few swimmers ask to join) the swimmers have Sports You and alllll their personal text groups. All of the Booster Board members emails are on the website for specific issues too.

We're looking forward to working alongside each of you, at concessions, at timing, and everywhere in between. It truly takes a village to make this team succeed, and every bit of help is appreciated!
