Resources for swimming teachers — built from real practice, designed for real lessons. No padding, no filler.
Practical resources developed through real teaching sessions — the kind of tools that actually get used in lessons, not just filed away.
Frameworks for structuring individual and group lessons. Think through objectives, progressions and key teaching points in a consistent, reliable way — so you walk into every session prepared.
Stage-by-stage skill progressions for learners at all levels — from pre-beginner water confidence through to advanced stroke technique. Clear, logical and grounded in how swimmers actually develop.
Simple, practical tools for tracking learner progress and communicating outcomes clearly — to swimmers, parents and other professionals. Assessment should serve the learner, not the paperwork.
Practical guidance on demonstration, feedback techniques, positioning in the pool, managing mixed-ability groups and keeping sessions engaging. Real teaching advice from real sessions.
"I built these resources because I couldn't find what I needed. A lot of swimming teaching materials are generic, over-produced or written by people who haven't stood at a poolside with a mixed-ability group of nervous beginners in a while. These aren't. They come directly from my own sessions, trialled in real conditions and refined over time. If they're useful to you, that's exactly what they're here for."
