The FMC Learn to Swim Program is offered to swimmers of all abilities to learn fundamental stroke techniques and water safety. We provide instruction for swimmers' ages 4-12 with lifelong swim skills and teach the importance of being safe, but also having fun in the water.
Our program consists of 6 levels that are designed to improve your child’s swimming skills. Students' progress through the levels at their own pace mastering the skills in one level before advancing to the next.
Once they jump in, the skills begin!
Level 1 is a beginner level class for students with no swim experience. Swimmers will learn basic safety skills, submerging under water with and without goggles, blowing bubbles and back float
Level 2 swimmers will learn body position, streamline, independence in the water, and straight leg kicking. Swimmers can advance to the next level once they show independence in the water
Level 3 builds on skills introduced in level 2, roll from front to back and back to front, treading water, begin freestyle arms, and begin backtroke arms
Level 4 swimmers will learn freestyle stroke development with side breathing, backstroke development and introduction to starts and turns
Level 5 builds on skills in level 4, introduction to butterfly and breastroke, starts/ turns and standing dive
Level 6 provides further refinement of all 4 competitive strokes, builds endurance, teaches swim vocab and proper lane etiquette
