i have to balance this oxidation- reduction equation in acidic solution  , but i am having a little trouble with it

I-(aq)+ClO-(aq)---> I3-(aq) + Cl-(aq)

i know that
ClO-(aq)Rightwards Arrow Cl-(aq) is reduction since its going from 1 to -1

and I-(aq)Rightwards Arrow I3-(aq) is oxidation
 
this is what i did so far

ClO-(aq)+ 2e Rightwards Arrow Cl-(aq)

for the second one i balance it
so its going to be

3I-(aq)Rightwards Arrow I3-(aq) +3e


then i balance the equation to get

3ClO-(aq)+ 6e -->3 Cl-(aq)

6I-(aq)Rightwards Arrow 6I-(aq) +6e


is this correct?
