A NEW CHAPTER IN
TRAFFORDS HISTORY

Trafford Metro uses Swimzi Teamwear as our official kit supplier.
We are currently trialling a 24/7 club shop with Swimzi, which allows swimmers and parents to purchase a selection of club branded items at any time.
Should you wish to purchase a swim hat, non-customised hats are available from the club office. For customised hats, due to the minimum order quantity requirement we will periodically make these products available and alert members accordingly.
Swimzi has a large catalogue of items, many of which we have not yet added to the Trafford Collection. If you'd like to see a specific item added to the catalogue please let us know.
You can explore the Swimzi Trafford Club Shop below using the button below.

Trafford Discount
Trafford Metro works in partnership with Allens of Kingsbury to provide a 20% discount when shoppers use the Trafford 'Club ID'.
Using our club ID is great for both our members and the club as a whole, as the club receives a portion of 'cash-back' every time you spend and save!
For more information and to obtain the code, please reach out to our assistant treasurer, Lin Bai.
The Basic Kit List
Apart from the obvious, a good fitting pair of googles and an appropriate swimming costume, it is expected that all of our swimmers should have the items listed below. As a swimmer advances through the club pathway, it may be suitable to purchase more advanced items such as Snorkels or Hand/Finger Paddles. Your coach will help advise on this as necessary.
A kickboard is a versatile piece of equipment used in swimming for developing leg strength, improving technique, and providing support during training. Kickboards are typically made of buoyant foam or plastic and come in various shapes and sizes to cater to different swimmers' needs.
A pull buoy is a buoyant, figure-eight-shaped foam float used in swim training that swimmers place between their thighs to keep their legs afloat, isolating the upper body so they can focus on arm strokes, build upper body strength, improve core stability, and refine body alignment
Swim fins are typically made of rubber or silicone, which enhances a swimmer's propulsion and efficiency in the water by providing an extra surface area for kicking, thereby improving speed, endurance, and technique. They serve as valuable training tools for beginners to improve body position and for advanced swimmers to build leg strength, practice drills, and reduce strain on the upper body.
