Stepping Stones Standard of Delivery
This document outlines the Stepping Stones standard of delivery and sets clear expectations for how lessons should be delivered across all venues. It provides a shared framework for Class Leads, Support Teachers, and Young Workforce staff to ensure lessons are safe, consistent, and focused on swimmer progress.
It covers:
Lesson structure and flow
Teacher positioning and pool management
Working effectively with support staff
Managing mixed abilities within a class
Maximising pool time while maintaining control and safety
This guidance should be used alongside weekly lesson guides and Venue Lead support. It is designed to create consistency across the programme and support confident, high quality delivery.
