Learn to Swim- Lesson Plans Level 1-3 (Toddler, Preschool & School Aged)

Make a splash with Sunshine Swim Center’s “Learn to Swim with Sunshine” lesson plans—perfect for parents, swim instructors, homeschoolers, childcare providers, or anyone passionate about teaching young children to swim! This digital set includes structured swim lessons for three foundational levels: Tadpoles, Frogs, and Sea Stars. Tailored for swimmers ages 3-6, these plans guide little ones through core skills, promoting water confidence, safety, and fun.

What’s Inside:

Our lesson plans introduce essential swim skills such as Kicks on the Stairs, Blowing Bubbles & Wall Walks, Submerging the Whole Body, Assisted & Unassisted Back Floats, Streamline Alligator Arms, and Kicks on the Wall and for 5-7 Yards. They also cover Assisted & Unassisted Jumps into the Pool and Assisted Rescue Rolls, building strong foundations in swim fundamentals.

Each level includes:

• Four detailed lesson plans: Move at your own pace, whether that means advancing quickly or repeating sessions to reinforce skills.
• Skills checklist: Track progress with a clear overview of each child’s achievements as they work through each level.

Each of these levels builds upon the previous one, helping children grow in water comfort, skill mastery, and—most importantly—water safety.
