Everything you need to run a full 6-month Stage 3 term — without writing a single lesson from scratch.

This coach's lesson plan takes you week by week through the entire Swim Safer Stage 3 syllabus: the stride/straddle entry into deep water, joining backstroke and front crawl into one continuous 50m swim, extending survival backstroke and breaststroke to real distance, head-first sculling and sustained treading, the hoop swim into a safe exit, and the full Sequence 3B survival-swim-to-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 → Swim Skill → Stage 3 Progress Skill → Game → Cool-Down.

What's inside:

• 26 week-by-week lesson tables — one row per week, covering the objective, warm-up, swim skill, Stage 3 progress skill, game and cool-down at a glance

• Full teaching detail for every Stage 3 skill — teaching points, exact coach cues, and class organisation, written once and referenced all term

• A 6-month roadmap showing how the whole programme builds from deep-water entry through to the mock assessment

• A reusable activity bank of 11 warm-ups, games and cool-downs — including stride-entry drills, pace-setter kick sets and sculling games — each with teaching points and a ready-to-use coach cue

• Equipment list and an 11-skill overview of everything the Stage 3 Progress slot builds toward

Who it's for: swim coaches and instructors teaching Swim Safer Stage 3 (or any similar intermediate learn-to-swim / water-safety syllabus building on Stage 2 technique) who want a done-for-you term plan instead of building one lesson at a time.
