Wellington Clubs Racing in their home pools

Purpose and background

The Trygve Cup is a multi-week cup designed to positively enhance the experience of competitive swimming, develop interclub rivalries and further increase participation at home pools across the region. The Trophy is named after the late Trygve Mark Berge and will be open to all clubs to participate and compete in to be named winners of the cup.

The Cup was launched in March/April 2022, and future editions of the cup may be run over a 3/4 week time span, or competed for at an individual event. The cup will primarily promote participation in relay events, whilst also providing the opportunity for swimmers to compete in a weekly individual event.
