Printable Copy

TEAMS:

High Schools in Shelby County are eligible to join the Shelby County High School Swim League. Each School has one vote. The Memphis Home Education Association (MHEA) will be eligible to field one team (swimmers must be members of the MHEA, and be in grades 9-12, and can have only four years of eligibility). 

ELIGIBILITY:

Following TISCA rules, the Shelby County High School Swim League will be only open to 9^th through 12^th graders. No 7^th & 8^th graders will be allowed to swim, even exhibition. No combining teams. Swimmers must attend the school they represent. Exception: Homeschool students may swim for a public school they are zoned for. 

Swimmers must compete in two (2) Shelby County seasonal meets to be eligible for the championship meet. Outside high school meets are not considered eligible meets toward the two (2) meet minimum.    

TRANSFERS:

If any swimmer has transferred from one school to another, swimmer name, name of school transferring from, name of school transferring to, and reason for transfer must submitted to TISCA. Visit www.TISCA.net for deadlines and procedures.

*** Your team will not be able to swim in any meets until league fees have been paid *****

WEBSITE(s):

All Shelby County Swim League information, heat sheets, results, etc. will be posted on our Shelby County Swim League website https://www.teamunify.com/Home.jsp?team=hsscsl

This will be our main source of information.  All Shelby County Swim League teams are required to maintain a Team Unify website.  

MEETS:

LEAGUE SEASONAL MEETS: (Tentative) 10/10 – 11/7 – 11/14 – 12/14 – 1/9 – 1/11 (Last Chance) 1/25 County Championship.

FACILITIES: League seasonal meets will be held at St. George’s High School

ENTRY DEADLINE: Entries for Saturday meets are due Tuesday at noon: Entries for Thursday meets are due Sunday at noon. Meet files will be mailed out but will also be available on the SCSL website.  

MEETS FORMAT 2024-2025 SEASON: 1 sprint meet, and 4 regular season A & B format meets. A format are events that are run on the first day of the state championship and include the 50 back and 50 breast. B format would be the events run on the second day of the state championship meet with the addition of the 50 fly and 100 IM. This will allow our swimmers to focus more on the longer events while still offering the 50’s. This proposal also allows our swimmers to also have more opportunities to get state cuts 

RELAYS: Each team will only be allowed to enter 3 relay teams per relay event at regular season meets. Teams of three of less swimmers can combine with another school that has three or less swimmers to compete in relays. The relays will be exhibition and will not score.   

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY: If they are trying to achieve a qualifying time in the event they are entered in, (I am not sure there is a fair way to do this) the board decided that .50 seconds per 50 yards would be taken off their entry time. i.e. .50 for all 50-yard events,1 sec for all 100-yard events, 2 sec off 200-yard events, and 5 sec off the 500-hundredfree event
