Event Description:

Welcome to the Shannon Region Open Water Swim League. The league is open to all levels of swimmer and has been set up with the primary goal of encouraging more people to get involved and swim/race/participate in the many swim events that are held in the surrounding Shannon Region.

This year all entrants wil receive a SROWSL swim cap!

The league will cost €10 to enter and will be run INDEPENDENTLY from the events involved. We will be running our own points and handicap system for each event (again independent from the race organisers rulings) based on individuals 400mtr pool time. The handicap system will be re-evaluated and updated on a race by race basis thereafter based on Committee assessment of the results. The reason for this is to give every individual a fair and equal opportunity, regardless of your speed. This year will once again be a gender-neutral league but will take into account whether a participant is wearing a wetsuit or not.


In conjunction with the individual league rankings there will be a prize at the end for the Best Club based on participation rates and individual points rankings.


At present, for the 2023 season, we have 14 events that will be involved and we will update the events list should more become available. The League points table will be on a “best 8 swims” system.
