Hi, mark Here...

"Over 30 years of teaching swimming, I’ve learned something simple:

Structure changes everything.

When a lesson has clear aims, logical sequencing and defined teaching points, swimmers progress faster — and teachers feel calmer and more confident.

This checklist outlines the 10 essential components of every professional 30-minute swimming lesson.

It’s the exact structure I’ve used to guide thousands of swimmers - from nervous beginners to confident stroke swimmers."

What’s Inside the Checklist

• Lesson aim clarity
• Previous learning alignment
• Entry, warm-up and main theme structure
• Contrasting activities
• Exit strategy
• Teaching point prompts
• Organisation and timing structure

Simple. Practical. Professional.

This checklist helps you structure a single lesson effectively.

But progression across multiple weeks requires sequencing.

If you’re looking to strengthen your long-term programme structure, I’ve also created fully sequenced lesson plans covering every stroke, stage and ability - including adults.
