Jim Montgomery Swim School

The first time I ever walked into Jim Montgomery Swim School, I was greeted by a tall gentleman who offered me a big Texas smile, firm Texas handshake and a warm Texas welcome. He introduced himself as Jim Montgomery and we spent the next thirty minutes talking about his life of swimming.
I’m not exactly a swim historian, but I knew who Mark Spitz and Michael Phelps were. As it turns out, those two sandwiched Jim’s 1976 Olympic feat of winning three gold medals. You can’t ask for more credentials than that, but it turns out that Jim also was the head swimming coach at elite Dallas prep school Greenhill for nearly 17 years.
The staff at Jim Montgomery Swim School is super-​friendly, the instructors warm and patient. Jim teaches here and so does his daughter, a former elementary school teacher. Other instructors like Alejandro are born to teach. This is hands-​on instruction in very small groups (2 – 3 kids for many classes) and your child will make rapid improvements if you stick to the weekly schedule.
The prices are very reasonable and unlike some other area swim schools, there’s no high-​pressure sales pitch or long term contracts to try to lock you in. This is a swim school that seeks to succeed on the merits of the program and quality of the services, rather than through gimmicks or salesmanship.
My two kids, ages 6 and 11 both look forward to swim class each week. They are suited up and ready to swim every Friday night, and with the improvements they’re making, I look forward to seeing them progress each session.
Owner Jim is almost always around if you have any questions, so I suggest you drop by, say Hi and find out how your child can achieve swimming success.
