Stage 5: Stroke Development In Stage 5, swimmers build strength, endurance, and confidence as they refine their stroke technique and begin swimming with greater efficiency and control. Students focus on developing front crawl and back crawl with rotary breathing, while also being introduced to more advanced skills such as breaststroke, butterfly basics, and treading water. As swimmers progress, they work toward longer distances and improved coordination, helping them move through the water with ease and confidence. This stage also introduces important water safety concepts, including energy conservation techniques and how to respond in emergency situations. Stage 5 is where swimmers begin to transition from learning strokes to owning them?developing the skills, stamina, and awareness needed to become strong, capable, and confident swimmers.

Swim Basics Water Acclimation Stage 1 Preschool ages (3-5) at Fulton County YMCA
Stage 1: Water Acclimation is the starting point for young swimmers to build comfort and confidence in the water. In this stage, children learn foundational skills such as blowing bubbles, submerging their face, floating with support, and safely entering and exiting the pool. They are gently introduced to movement in the water through guided activities that build trust, body awareness, and basic safety skills. This level is perfect for beginners or swimmers who are still becoming comfortable putting their face in the water and moving independently.
