Lifesaving & Water Rescue Unit (4 Lessons)

This practical lifesaving unit helps students develop essential water safety, rescue awareness and assisted swimming skills through simple, structured activities designed for mixed-ability classes.

Across four progressive lessons, students learn how to make safe rescue decisions, perform controlled water entries, complete surface dives, use survival strokes and apply effective towing techniques such as sidestroke and lifesaving backstroke. Lessons focus on confidence in deeper water, energy conservation and keeping a casualty’s airway clear during assisted movement.

The unit includes clear teacher guidance, assessment opportunities, non-doer observation sheets and student reflection tasks, making it ideal for grab-and-teach delivery with minimal preparation.

Perfect for year 6 or secondary PE, water safety blocks or enrichment programmes, this scheme helps students build real-life survival knowledge while improving swimming endurance and confidence.
