FMC Learn to Swim Program

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. Click on each level to read about the goals.

Every student will learn skills at different rates. You should never look at another child and wonder why your child is not learning at the same pace as others. Swimming is a skill that takes time, patience, and plenty of practice. Therefore, children will be evaluated regularly to determine if they have mastered the skills required in conjunction with a particular class level. Instructors will promote children to the next level when they believe they are ready. Our group lessons are recommended for children and toddlers ages 4 and older.

Once they jump in, the skills begin!

Level 1

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 and back float.

To complete level 1 swimmers should be able to submerge under water with and without goggles and float on their back for 5 seconds.

Level 2

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, correct body position, straight leg kicks, and unassisted streamline kicking front and back.

Level 3

Level 3 builds on skills introduced in level 2, roll from front to back and back to front, begin freestyle arms, and begin backstroke arms.

To advance to the next level, swimmers need to swim freestyle and backstroke independently.

Level 4

Level 4 swimmers will learn freestyle stroke development with side breathing, backstroke development and introduction to starts and turns.

Swimmers can advance to the next level once they can complete 50-yard freestyle with correct side breathing, 25-yard backstroke, 25-yard dolphin kick, and a kneeling dive.

Level 5

Level 5 builds on skills in level 4, introduction to butterfly and breaststroke, starts/ turns and standing dive.

To complete level 5, swimmers should be able to swim 75-yard freestyle, 50-yard backstroke, 25-yard butterfly, 25-yard breaststroke, flip turns, and dive into the pool.

Level 6

Level 6 provides further refinement of all 4 competitive strokes, builds endurance, teaches swim vocab and proper lane etiquette.

To complete the Learn to Swim Program, swimmers need to be able to dive into the pool and swim all four strokes efficiently.
