Everything you need to run a full 6-month Stage 5 term — without writing a single lesson from scratch.

This coach's lesson plan takes you week by week through the entire Swim Safer Stage 5 (Silver) syllabus: the crouching dive entry joined to a timed 50m front crawl, timed breaststroke and backstroke, survival backstroke, sidestroke and a first introduction to dolphin kick, the Silver Survival Sequence's stride/straddle jump entry, backward somersault and feet-first surface dive with ear equalisation, a speed swim with PFD retrieval and handling, and finally swimming a full 25m wearing a PFD before 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 5 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 5 progress skill, game and cool-down at a glance

• Full teaching detail for every Stage 5 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 the crouching dive through to the mock assessment

• A reusable activity bank of ready-to-run warm-ups, games and cool-downs — including streamline push-off drills, sprint starts and the PFD toss & fit race — each with teaching points and a ready-to-use coach cue

• Equipment list and a 15-skill overview of everything the Stage 5 Progress slot builds toward

Who it's for: swim coaches and instructors teaching Swim Safer Stage 5 / Silver (or any similar advanced learn-to-swim / lifesaving-adjacent syllabus building on Stage 4 Bronze technique) who want a done-for-you term plan instead of building one lesson at a time.
