The 2025 Myrtha Pools Legends Relay will be swum as part of the Alumni Evening at the Apollo Projects New Zealand Open Championships on Saturday, 24th May 2025. Further details on this event will be available soon.
The Legends Relay is an event that is held each year with the goal of raising money for the NZ Swimming Alumni which is reinvested back into the developing swimmers through grants and scholarships. We host this event with the help of past international representatives who are invited back to the pool to compete in relay teams against each other.
No relay was held in 2024, but we were still able to assist our swimmers with a reduced number of Scholarships particularly athletes qualifying for Paris 2024 and Junior Pan Pacs. This was funded from investments and other donations. A HUGE “Thank You” to the generous support from our Sponsors and donors, who continued their financial support.
We are organising an Alumni evening for the Saturday 24th May 2025 during the Apollo Projects New Zealand Open Championships and look forward to hosting former swimmers. We invite many to take part in the teams of the Legends Relay which is run on a handicap basis.
We need your help for this coming year to raise money for our up-and-coming swimmers, many of whom are desperate for financial support.
For the 2025 edition, we are very proud to announce Myrtha Pools as our naming sponsor. We are extremely grateful for their support and thrilled to have them take this leading role.
We would also like to thank our other incredible sponsors who have generously contributed towards sponsoring a Legends Relay Team or a Lane - Northern Arena, Links Modular Solutions, Sanford Developments, Speedo, Matamata Mitre 10, Anne Duncan Real Estate, Barfoot and Thompson, Craigs Investment Partners, Cowells Pavlova, Fusion 5 Business Solutions, Hot Water Heat Pumps and Washing Machines of Wellington (Powered by Dougal's Swimming)
