Is a FX swap a derivative?

Could you please clarify for me if a FX swap qualifies as a derivative instrument? I've been reading up on financial markets, and while I understand that derivatives are financial contracts whose value is derived from an underlying asset, I'm still a bit hazy on the specifics. In the context of FX swaps, how do they fit into this definition? Are they similar to other derivative products like futures or options? I'd really appreciate it if you could break it down for me in layman's terms.
