Everything you need to run a full 6-month Stage 1 term — without writing a single lesson from scratch.

This coach's lesson plan takes you week by week through the entire Swim Safer Stage 1 syllabus: slide-in entry and safe exit, breath control and submersion, front and back floats, the 5-metre back swim and 10-metre front swim, distress signals and float rescue, and the full Sequence 1B PFD skills — all the way to a mock assessment in Month 6.

Every 45-minute lesson is broken into the same five parts, so your classes run like clockwork: Warm-Up → Learn-to-Swim Stroke Skill → Stage 1 Progress Skill → Game → Cool-Down.

What's inside:

• 26 week-by-week lesson tables — one row per week, covering the objective, warm-up, stroke skill, Stage 1 progress skill, game and cool-down at a glance

• Full teaching detail for every Stage 1 skill — teaching points, exact coach cues, and class organisation, written once and referenced all term

• A 6-month roadmap showing how the whole programme progresses, month by month

• A reusable activity bank of 11 warm-ups, games and cool-downs, each with teaching points and a ready-to-use coach cue, so you can rotate for variety without extra prep

• Equipment list and a 12-skill overview of everything the Stage 1 Progress slot builds toward

Who it's for: swim coaches and instructors teaching Swim Safer Stage 1 (or any similar learn-to-swim / water-safety syllabus for young children) who want a done-for-you term plan instead of building one lesson at a time.
