Swimming Stroke Teaching Toolkit Bundle – Lesson Plans, Drills & Teaching Phrases for All Four Strokes

Everything you need to teach all four strokes, in one bundle

You know the feeling. You're on poolside, you can see exactly what's going wrong in the water, and you've run out of ways to fix it. Or the lesson is in ten minutes and you're not quite sure what to teach next.

This bundle brings together all four of my stroke teaching toolkits: front crawl, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly. Whichever stroke is on the plan today, you've got it covered. And you save 20% compared with buying them one at a time.

★★★★★
"I could see what was wrong with my swimmers' backstroke but was running out of ways to correct it. The drills gave me some really useful alternatives to try."
James – Swim Instructor, NZ

Three teaching problems, solved for every stroke

Each toolkit is built around the three things swimming teachers tell me they struggle with most:

• Plan it – "I'm not sure what to teach next." Structured lesson plans take your swimmers through each stroke in manageable stages.
• Practise it – "I know what's wrong, but I need another way to fix it." Practical drills target the specific part of the stroke that's letting them down.
• Explain it – "I've explained it, but they still don't understand." Hundreds of alternative phrases and cues give you another way to say it.

The three work together. Spot the problem, find the progression, choose a drill, then try a different cue.

★★★★★
"There is much more here than I expected. The lesson plans give me structure, the drills give me alternatives, and the teaching points are easy to refer back to."

Backstroke Teaching Toolkit
18 lesson plans, 20+ drills and exercises, and hundreds of teaching phrases for nervous back swimmers, sinking hips, awkward arm recoveries and lost rhythm.
