Southwest HoustonRecreational Swim League (SHRSL)Rules
A swimmer must practice and compete only with his/her SHRSL team from April 1st through the end of SHRSL competition. Participation in any non-SHRSL-sanctioned event after April 1st is prohibited by SHRSL, excluding high school and middle school swim team practices. Swim clinics/camps, not to exceed 7 days of instruction, are also excluded from this rule.
Please contact Jeff Jackson at rockdoc@axnjxn.com with questions. To be in compliance with the Southwest Houston Recreational Swim League rules, our team is limited to 200 swimmers. Since we may receive applications in excess of this number, we need to monitor and potentially restrict the number of swimmers for each age group.
