Fitting mudguards/fenders to a Swift has been featured on this forum before. "Full" 'guards are available and I have fitted them to my Swift with reasonable affect. However, a "Full" guard on the back does make wheel removable tricky. The Swift's rear wheel is removed backwards and a full mudguard just gets in the way. Clip-on 'guards are often not the right shape or don't have the correct fittings to attach them to the bike frame. Mountain bike fenders that use a q/r clamp around the seat tube are often too small to cope with the 34mm diameter of the Swift seat tube.

The Topeak DeFender m2 rear fender does fit the Swift's seat tube and can be adjusted to cover the rear wheel. I have recently installed one on my Swift and I think it looks good. It can be fitted and removed in a few seconds so will not affect the folding action. I think it fits the sporty appearance of the Swift and being made of a tough rubber material, should last many years. I have not tried it in the rain yet but it looks as though it will offer protection.

I am looking at attaching the rear light to the mudguard's support arm.
