What if you never had to stand poolside wondering what session to run again?

Creating a great mini-squad session shouldn't require starting with a blank whiteboard every time.

I created the Mini-Squad Session Planner as a simple mix-and-match session builder that takes the thinking and decision fatigue out of planning, while still giving you the freedom to create something different every training session.

Choose a warm-up, add a drill or kick set, pick a main set, finish with a cool-down and your session is done. New sessions each time with no last-minute panic.

How the session builder works?

The printable, downloadable PDF system comes with some ready-made sets to get you started, plus blank cards so you can keep adding your own.

💦Warm Ups

💦Drills & Kick Sets

💦Main Sets

💦Cool Downs & Fun

💦Blank cards to add your own favourite sets

💦PB Tracker to record swimmer names and progress

💦Available in large and A5 formats for your folder, clipboard or poolside rings

Mark your favourites, mix and match your cards and build a different session every time.

And here's the bit I really like...Your session planner grows with you!

Maybe you found a great set from your favourite 'Swimfluencer'? Add it.

Created a drill your swimmers love? Add it too.

Over time, your planner becomes your own collection of sessions and ideas, something you can keep building, reuse season after season, and eventually pass on to the next coach or teacher.

Take it onto the pool deck. The cards aren't designed to sit in a computer folder while you're trying to remember what you planned.

Take them poolside. You can even let swimmers take turns choosing the warm-up, drill set, main set or cool-down. Suddenly, session creation becomes part of the training experience.

It's also incredibly handy when you're away and a relief teacher or substitute coach needs to take your squad. They have a system, a structure and a bank of sessions to work from without having to guess what you normally do.

Who is it for?

✔Mini-squad coaches & swim teachers: save planning time and keep sessions varied.

✔Swim schools: create more consistency between coaches while still allowing each coach to add their own ideas.

✔Relief & substitute coaches: step in with a ready-to-use session structure.

✔New coaches: have somewhere to start instead of facing a blank page.

The idea behind this resource.

I wanted to make session planning less like homework (and choosing 'what's for dinner' and more like building something fun and novel.

You don't need to invent a brand-new workout from scratch every time. You just need a good collection of ideas and an easy way to put them together.

Print. Build. Train. Add to it. Repeat.

The Mini-Squad Session Planner is a ready-to-use digital PDF download designed to save you time, reduce the mental load and help you deliver varied, engaging training sessions without having to reinvent the wheel every time.
