Sheffield No Frills 2026

The swimmers matched the glorious weather of this weekend with some glorious swimming. We had many medals, Pbs and smiles from all of our swimmers both young and old. The team morale was incredible with everyone getting stuck in and supporting each other through swims and even a little bit of statistics homework!

A massive thank you to our TMs and officials for a superb weekend!

Spending time in water can play an important role in supporting mental wellbeing 🏊‍♀️💧

Swimming can help improve mood, build self‑esteem, support better sleep 😴 and reduce stress.

Research shows that swimming has helped many people reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression 🧠 and feel more connected to others 🤝

Whether indoors or outdoors 🌿, swimming offers space to breathe, move and belong.

We’re proud to support people, clubs and communities to enjoy the mental health benefits of being in water 💙

Good luck to all our swimmers starting their SATS, GCSEs, A-Levels and other exams! Go smash it! You got this! 💙💚

Trafford Masters Meet 2026

Our Masters team has gone from strength to strength since its creation 5 years ago and today was a fantastic showing from 8 of our swimmers. Smiles, medals and Pbs galore they had a superb gala with many firsts!

Regionals 2026

FST started regionals with a couple of our younger swimmers at Liverpool. Mizar and Albert both had their first experience at regionals and stood up to the challenge amazingly. Mizar had three races in the 100 fc, 100 bk and 200 IM, smashing his Pb in the bk. Albert brought his skills to the 200 brs and 100 brs and raced tough competition very well.

We then had to wait almost a month for the relays and sprints. Max started us off with a strong 50 bk just off Pb pace then repeating in the fly to make the final. He entered into the fly final full of confidence as the fastest seed and absolutely smashed it - getting a Pb and swimming 27.60, the fastest time in the North West! Our first Flixton gold at regionals in a long time and another notch on his increasingly impressive belt.

Sunday saw our boys racing the speedy 50 fc with Mizar, Will, George and Max all putting in a great shift. Joe followed his team mates in the 50 brs pushing below his entry time.
To finish the fantastic weekend we had our relays where we had a new record number of Flixton entries with 2 boys and 2 girls relays entered. Our girls freestyle relay got us underway with Eleanor, Nell, Nonna and Emily having a superb swim dropping 5 seconds under their entry time. Our boys followed with a great swim from Mizar, Max, Matthew and George. Next up was our girls medley relay with Jess setting us off in a Pb in the Bk, Lucy swimming a fantastic Brs leg, Eleanor with a Pb in the Fly and Emily racing incredibly on the Fc. The boys followed with Oli on the Bk with a Pb, Joe with a Pb in the Brs, Max pushing hard after all his races for the Fly and George finishing well in the Fc.

To say I am proud of these swimmers is an understatement. Their hard work the past few weeks and the camaraderie of the team has been awe inspiring. From our little FST we have relay teams challenging the giants and they should all be holding their heads high after their performances and be looking forward to the next week.

We’re starting to plan our biggest raffle of the year, which will take place at the Flixton Swim Team Annual Awards Night on Thursday 3rd July at The Venue, Urmston 🏆🏊‍♀️
As a community‑based, volunteer‑run club, our operating costs have unfortunately increased again this year. We work hard to keep swimming affordable and accessible for local families, so fundraising plays a huge role in helping us continue to support our swimmers.
We’re therefore reaching out to local businesses to ask whether you might consider donating a raffle prize. Anything you’re able to offer, big or small, would be hugely appreciated and will go directly towards supporting high‑quality coaching and opportunities for young swimmers in our area.
In return, we’re always very happy to thank and promote our supporters on the night and across our club communications and social media.
If you’d be interested in supporting us, or would like more information, please feel free to get in touch 💙
Thank you for supporting local community sport!
