Help I'm a swim teacher!
Just about every swim school has an outline of what they want a swimming teacher to achieve at each level of a swim students progress. Some specify exactly what skills the and drills the teacher is required to teach each week. And then there are the schools that will say to you: "Here is what we want the student to achieve before they progress... go for it".
An experienced teacher wont blink an eye at this but a new teacher is just as likely to say: " You want what?"
Even experienced teachers however will look for new ideas to both improve their charges performance and to keep the class fresh.
I have had to do numerous lesson plans over the years and I thought that it might be helpful for people to be able to access those that I have prepared and those that I have "Borrowed" over the years. But I don't like being prescriptive because every swim school is different and no matter how good a lesson plan is it will have to be modified for each situation.
The following is a list of lesson plans:
