My two children are taking classes here. This is the best and only place I have found where all coaches are knowledgeable, patient and so nice with the kids. Both of my kids have learned so much. The staff have always answered to our concerns and they make sure we are happy with the schedule. The classes are fully 30 minutes, not as other places where is only 20min or less per kid. The price is perfect for it. The ratio of coaches: students is low so classes are pretty much personalized. We love this place!
Weve had a great experience at JMSS. The swim teachers are all great, my son love them. Jim is very quick to respond to any questions via email. All staff has been very welcoming. The pools are always clean. We plan to continue lessons as long as we need to, and we would definitely recommend Jim Montgomery Swim School to others!
My three children go to this swim school, oldest is in the swim team. We love their coaches, how talented and incredible teachers they are. We live 25 miles away from school but don’t mind taking our kids there because it’s hard to find a school like this where all the levels my kids are in are covered. Usually swim school teach younger kids up to 5 years old. JMSS doesn’t stop there, they have several swim teams, swim meets once a month. I highly recommend joining this school if you want you child to learn to swim and be safe in water.
So great!! Instructors are awesome! Theyre super sweet w the kids, and really knowledgeable, even gave us a few great ideas to work on at home! **HIGHLY RECOMMEND**
We love Jim Montgomery Swim School! My kids have gained swim skills, confidence, great technique and have so much fun while learning! We love that JMSS runs like clockwork each time we are there. The coaches are always so encouraging and fun that I dont think my kids even realize they are learning lifelong skills. JMSS gets 2 thumbs up from us!
I’ve had nothing but good experiences here. My kids (2 and 4) both really look forward to their lessons and the business seems very well-run. I love how they focus on water safety as a part of each and every lesson. We will definitely be continuing here for a while!
After having been in 5 swim schools across 2 different states, this is hands down the best swimming program I have seen. The program is customized to the needs of every child and allows for children to progress at their own pace. The coaches and staff are very dedicated, respectful and helpful.
This review is based primarily customer service as we have done limited classes. From my first request for information to setting up an evaluation to questions I have had to scheduling classes have been top notch. It is hard to find good customer service these days and they hit it out of the park going above and beyond. I kept offering to pay for my high maintenance ways and kept being turned down! My son has loved his time there and keeps asking when he gets to go back! This is high praise as he loved his old swim school! I should also add with multiple opportunities to bad mouth other swim schools they did not and just discussed how their teaching method was different!.
We are so happy with our experience at Jim Montgomery Swim. Our son is learning excellent swim techniques and form for the different strokes. Most importantly he leaves class happy and feeling confident. Kids of all ages and ability levels will do well at Jim Montgomery Swim School.
My son has been taking swim lessons at Jim Montgomery for the last year. I was told this is THE place to take lessons in Dallas and I could not agree more. It is not only very well-organized but the quality of the instruction and my son’s progress has been impressive. We have been able to see him move forward as a swimmer and ENJOY his lessons without ever feeling pressure or fear. He has never once felt pressure to be at a place he is not and absolutely enjoys the water! They have a wonderful philosophy about swimming instruction and I believe it fares better for the child. We are now, after one year, almost swimming completely on our own across the pool!
What a fantastic place to go to. The staff is wonderful and great communication. If you go anywhere you must come here. BEST swim school in the are!
This swim school has been awesome for us!! I love the technique my daughter learns and the confidence she has gained through her development. The staff is awesome and makes things a breeze to coordinate. The communication is excellent and since Covid, they have really gone over and beyond w safety and cleanliness. Thanks JMSS!
Excellent, elite swim and safety training. In additional to the technical swim programs, the staff always go above and beyond in engaging with their families. We love being a part of the JMSS family and recommend them without reservation.
My girls have taken lessons at Jim Montgomery for years. The staff and coaches are professional, accommodating, and care for each student. My older daughter has loved the pre-competitive swim team lessons.
Weve tried other swim schools and JMSS is by far our favorite. Classes are very small and the kids are taught so much independence in the water! I highly recommend to all of our friends!
We just love JMSS. Our two boys have been taking lessons there since they were babies. Water safety is so important to us and the curriculum and staff have that as their most important priority. The staff is excellent and friendly, from the front desk to the instructors. The facilities are clean and they have a great area for young families to change. We have recommended JMSS to so many friends and family and will continue!
We absolutely love Jim Montgomery Swim School! Every single teacher we’ve had has been wonderful and both of my children are becoming so confident in the water after every lesson! Couldn’t be happier with this place!!
Jim Montgomery Swim School is an incredible value. The staff and administration team are super helpful and our swimmer improves each week. Thank you!
The entire swim program is well setup and progress is recorded every class. Fun ribbons are a good motivation for the kids. The new app helps with scheduling and progress. The coaches are patient and well mannered especially while they work with kids. Facility is clean and well kept. Shout out to Coach Ashley B, Coach Rachel !!
We love JMSS! As a former competitive swimmer, it was important to find a class that would teach my kids the foundation of the sport. Speed can always come later, but learning how to swim the proper way the first time is key. My kids now love to swim, and we are so thankful for the teachers who help them! I highly recommend Jim Montgomery Swim School for people of all ages who want to learn to swim or strengthen the skills the have!
Best swim place ever. We even make the drive to Dallas after the closure of the Flower Mound location (thanks rona). Wouldnt trust my kiddo with anyone else!
My kids took lessons else where for almost a year. We felt they did not learn much so we decided to switch to the Jim Montgomery swimming school. It was the right move, my kids now make a very good progress. I’d never got any complaints from them not want to go swimming. They love earning the ribbons!!
My daughter has been going there for 4 years, and weve had nothing but positive experience. Clean pool, great coaches, polite and helpful front desk staff. You can tell that this is a family business, and everyone definitely makes you feel like you are part of the family.
We love going to JMSS, we have been going there every week for a year now. The place is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. They make scheduling easy and the coaches are great too.We have seen huge improvement in our kids skills and we are always informed of the skills they attain. Highly recommend!
We are having a great experience at JMSWIM. Our son is 1 1/2 and started in CuddleFish and was making great progress. Due to COVID -19 we had to stop for a while, but now they reopened and he is extremely happy to be back! Their facility is extremely clean and have take extra measures to keep everyone safe during these crazy pandemic times. All teachers are very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend
The coaches are good. The coach student ratio is very good too. Most of the item it’s only my son or one more student with his coach. The front desk people are very helpful and always helped us with makeup classes. Strongly recommend.
Our 3 year old has been going to Jim Montgomery once a week for 6 months. We have been very impressed with his level of instruction, the coaches, staff and facilities. We have a pool in our backyard and I now feel completely sure he is able to swim to the edge and climb out on his own if needed. His favorite day of the week is when he has his swimming lesson.
JMSS has been an excellent addition to my son’s extracurricular activities. He suffered from ear and sinus infections and consequently was quite delayed in his swimming. The coaches at JMSS encouraged him and met him patiently and kindly where his swim skills had stalled. He recently joined swim team and JMSS is a huge part of his success. I simply cannot say enough good things about them.
I have always been skeptical about group swim schools, but when I noticed so many rave reviews for JMSwim on my mom’s group page, I wanted to check it out. I enrolled our eight year old first. He quickly gained more confidence and skills moving up from his stingray classes to swordfish and now swim team. After such positive experience with him, we enrolled our 4yo who loves her flounder class and is always excited to get in the pool. Even my husband has begun taking classes to feel more secure in our pool at home. We spend a lot of time at JMSwim and it’s always very enjoyable. Great family atmosphere and the most positive support group of coaches. I truly fantastic experience no matter the age or skill level.
Prior to coming to Jim Montgomery Swim School, my son had taken lessons at 2 other swim schools, and they don’t even come close to JMSS. The instructors here are amazing, and I have seen my son’s skills and confidence improve tremendously. We drive from North Carrollton passing several other swim schools near our house to come to JMSS. I could not be happier with this swim school.
Our two older daughters have been at JMSS for 2.5 years now and we have really enjoyed watching their progress. They have gained so much confidence in the water, largely attributed to weekly lessons all year round. Our youngest will start lessons soon and we can’t wait to see what she’ll learn!
JMSS has been SUCH a great find! My daughter (3 years old) learned more in her first lesson than she did during a whole summer of me trying to teach her to swim. I’ve been so happy with the instructors - each of them have been great with connecting with my daughter and the other kids in her class, which means a lot to me as an early childhood education specialist. The front desk staff have been professional and very accommodating, which makes for a great costumer service experience. I’ve been especially impressed with the commitment the staff and instructors have to the COVID-19 health and safety protocols they have had to implement. Though my experience is different now, post COVID, I’ve appreciated the thoroughness JMSS has had in their response. So, with all of that, I highly recommend JMSS!
We love Jim Montgomery Swim! The instructors are great with the kids and it is always so clean.
Great staff! Very professional and friendly. 100% recommend!
I had my kid enroll in this school, i was not happy very happy with the ambient. I felt i was not welcome there or my daughter. I saw that my daughter was not treated like the other kids. Not very happy.
We absolutely love JMSS! We enrolled our little girl in swim lessons with JMSS 8 months ago and she has learned so much and can swim from one side to the other side of the pool on her own! However they are taught more then just to learn how to swim, they are taught safety and other swim techniques! The staff/ coaches are great, they are very patient with the kids and make sure their students lean each technique and they always try to accommodate you if you miss a lesson. Jim (the owner) is always there and very friendly down to earth gentlemen. He’s always watching his swimmers and talking to parents!
Awesome owners, Jim and Ellis are great and run a tight ship. Facility and Pools are super clean.
Are you close or open today? I call you 1000 times today and no respond. You usedo to send us an email for closing days like holiday, but now nothing. I have to call every holiday to make sure is there a class or not.
We’ve tried several swim schools before this one and Jim Montgomery is by far the most professional and caring way to teach.My 3 grandchildren all attend weekly. My granddaughter made the swim competition team.Our family believes in extreme water safety and becoming a proficient swimmer and possibly saving someone else is quite an accomplishment.Even the 2 yr old can swim to the side and climb out to save himself.All the coaches are so loving to the children-never scaring or pushing them. The front desk personnel try hard to accommodate class schedules to fit your schedule and make-up lessons.The faculty is very clean and child friendly. As you can tell, we love it
I definitely advise everyone to have their children to attend to Jim Mondgomery’s swim classes. They grow up the gold medalists for the future. Everyone is so polite and professional. It has been almost one year (attending once a week) for my 6 year old son and I can’t believe how much he has improved. The best thing for his age is, they made him feel so comfortable in the water. Thank you so much for all the efforts you guys have made.
Coach Jim and his staff and instructors are GREAT! This place is well run and everybody is incredibly nice.
Love this place. Excellent staff and facilities
This school has an AMAZING approach to helping ADULTS learn to swim. I’ve taken three separate swim classes as an adult over the past 15 years and have failed to become water safe. This year for my fourth attempt to master the basics, I decided to try Jim Montgomery Swim School. I knew I was comfortable in shallow water but did not have the ability to perform sufficient breath exchange and still harbored a pretty good fear of deep water. I started with Beginner Swim. These four classes with Cheryl were phenomenal. By the end of the sessions I was able to move the entire length of the larger pool without touching the bottom or sides. This was a huge improvement for me and further increased my desire to learn more. Next step, concurring the deep. This two day course with Donna helped me realize that I can enjoy time in any level of water as long as I have the correct skill set and mental peace. By the end of these sessions, I was able to join my classmates and jump off a diving board into 17 feet of water, vertical bob a bit and then back float back to to the wall. It is clearly apparent that the team at Jim Montgomery are passionate about what they do. Cheryl and Donna go above and beyond, the spotters who helped during class are open and encouraging with their own swim journeys and the facility is top notch. I feel I can only get better with practice and look forward to learning how to better propel myself in the strokes classes with coach Jim.
My daughter wouldnt even put her face in the water. We tried three different lessons, both group and private, and nothing would work for her. She hated going to swim lessons and it was always a fight to get her to go. After the first class at JMSS she was putting her face in the water, doing bobs, gaining new skills. She moved up a level working just a few weeks. She has great confidence in the water now. I never thought she would become the swimmer she is now! She always attains new skills and is so excited after each class because of what she has accomplished.
Great Swim School, left another swim school and we are pleased with our decision and our progress.
Fantastic swim school. The entire staff is great, and our son loves Saturday classes. Coach Nichole is the best!
This swim school is AWESOME!!! I highly recommend it to everyone who want to have their kids learn swimming techniques correctly. My son was at another swim school and they were not about teaching correct techniques, seeing how my son was starting to be afraid of the water, a friend recommended Jim Montgomery Swim School and my son LOVES IT!!! He’s no longer afraid of the water, he loves coming, he can really swim. I’m so proud of the progress he’s made and the techniques he’s learned. I am no longer afraid of my 6 yr. old being around any body of water because I know for sure he can swim and knows the safety techniques he needs to know to get out of the water should he find himself accidentally in a large body of water and no one is around.
Wonderful swim school, with an excellent focus on safety. Kiddos are super confident in the pool now. The coaches are amazing, all the admin team are so lovely. Everything is very well organized and very professional, and the school is beautifully designed! I travel a good way to get here and wouldn’t think of changing.
Both of my children have shown great progress since starting at the swim school. The coaches are amazing!!!!! My youngest was terrified of the water. The coaches are calm, cool and collected and have lots of experience working with the “difficult” swimmers.
I’ve been bringing my 4 year old to the flower mound location for a couple months and he loves it! New, clean, friendly staff, and great instructors! Highly recommend.
Can’t recommend JMSS enough. My 7 year old has made great gains in her swimming skills since starting four weeks ago. Prior to JMSS, my five year old was terrified of the water, would not get her face wet, and refused to work with any other swim instructors. But here, the instructors have all been so positive, let the kids use goggles, and build upon each little goal accomplished that the kids love each opportunity to practice. They feel so supported . It’s been great!
We had both of our boys in classes here for about a year and a half. We loved the atmosphere but got frustrated that our older son spent over a year at the same level. He was lacking one skill to move to the next level. He is a very proficient swimmer but was unable to do roll overs and doggie digs their way, so he was unable to move to the next level. We eventually gave up and pulled both boys out of classes. Our son does have ADHD but chose JMSS other people we know with kids who had special needs had had a great experience there. We hope ours is just an isolated case.
Our 3 children have all taken lessons here and loved it. The coaches are excellent. There only 4 children max in a lane so it never feels chaotic and each child gets the attention they need. Our children love swimming and are even now on swim team. Highly recommend.
The staff, swim coaches, and owner are great with kids! The coaches are attentive and work with the kids to help them achieve their goals and milestones throughout the different stages of progression. Highly recommend Jim Montgomery Swim School!
Love the kids and adult programs! Instructors are great. We really enjoy their classesMy kids enjoy swimming and learning at their own pace and they feel so comfortable with each skill.I especially want to say that their adult classses are excellent and would highly recommend taking their BEG/FOW combo class. For an adult learner, it was so empowering to learn the skill of floating. Donna is a superb instructor who is not only patient but very encouraging. Highly highly recommend this class for adults too.
This swim school is awesome! From the facility and observation room to the instructors and Jim walking around keeping everyone on track, not that they need it. Both my boys have become great swimmers as a result of the instruction they receive here. They enjoy coming and the 30 minute lessons are just the right amount. They’re flexible as well if you need to reschedule. Highly recommend this swim school!!
Small class size and great programs. Great swim school!
We did private and group swim lessons at several other popular Dallas swim schools for several years and switched to Jim Montgomery a couple months. This is by far the most impressive program and my kids are learning rapidly. They love coming here and the instructors are very well trained. Jim is almost always here and available to talk with parents. He is obviously the most qualified swim instructor our kids have ever had. Highly recommend this swim school! Our kids are 3 & 6 and we drive up from the park cities.
I absolutely love this swim school! We tried 2 other swim schools before and this worked the best for us! Coach Ellis does an amazing job with all the coaches and really cares about the kids. They will make sure your child is progressing and will do what it takes so your child can excel in swimming!
Great swim school. The facility itself is clean and well maintained. There are two large pools that are partitioned off for the various classes. Small swimmer to coach ration so the kids get lots of one on one attention. Our kids love going here and always look forward to their lessons. All the staff are very friendly and genuinely seem to care about the kids theyre teaching. Cant go wrong with Jim Montgomery Swim!
JMSS swim school is fantastic from every angle you look at it. The management team is caring and kind, the teachers are great. The place is clean and well organized. There is a lot of options when it comes to swim lessons (lessons, swim team, private, summer blitz). Making up classes is easy. Price is good. They dont only teach kids not to drown (as in some other swim schools), they teach kids proper technique - competition-level technique. And they have a life guard on duty (unlike in some other swim schools). Weve been going there ever since they opened and we are extremely appreciative and grateful to have them in our neighborhood.
My kids love to come to lessons here. The instructors are knowledgeable and all of them work well with the kids. I like how clean and well kept it is. There is a bone dry, clean waiting room that provides a great view to watch the lessons. Best part is that they’re really learning to swim and making progress.
We love this swim school! We had tried others before coming here and finally found a place that worked well for our son’s swimming ability. His coaches have been great, working with him on his form and encouraging him to do the skills to move into the next level. We would highly recommend this school!
We really love this swim school for our 3 year old. The instructors are very patient with the little ones and make learning swimming fun and enjoyable.
Wonderful place! The instructors are great. My daughter is becoming a swimmer.:)
We love the friendly and enthusiastic coaches who do the best job helping our kids gain confidence and improve their strokes. We look forward to our lessons every week!
Jim and the team are just amazing! We have been to other swim schools, but these guys are by far the best! My 3 year old can swim back to the edge of the pool and float on his back, so it makes it so much safer around our own pool.Highly recommended.
We’ve been at Jim Montgomery for over a year and love it here! The teachers are great (former swimmers). I like that they have a specific list of skills they accomplish before moving to the next level, because I’m able to keep track of what she is working on. It’s a clean, quiet and nice facility. Definitely recommend it!
The coaches are awesome and both my boys have thrived in their swim classes here. Highly recommend, worth the drive wherever you are!
Fantastic swim school! We love it here. My kids were terrified of the water and I never thought they would be able to swim. In a short amount of time they have come so far! The instructors are patient, kind and great at their job. The owners are the nicest people. Sincerely passionate about teaching kids to be safe in the water and learn to love to swim!
We swapped to JMSS after going to Elmer for 6 months, now have been here for over two years. Love the experience here more, basically same classes. Coaches and management are amazing!
Best swim school in Dallas. Instructors are very thorough and detailed when teaching the kids various strokes and skills. They really make sure the kids are learning properly how to swim. It’s very well managed, professional and my kids love it! I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Easy to work with, kind instructors that really care about your kids! Kids become extremely safe, independent and confident around water.
Our 2 year old son absolutely loves his lessons, as do we! He is so comfortable in the water now and is gaining new skills each week. Plus, he has so much FUN! The coaches and staff are phenomenal and the facility is top notch. We couldn’t be happier here!
Jim Montgomery Swim School is amazing. Our son has been attending for 2 years and his swimming skills have grown and improved tremendously. He loves swimming and loves all of his couches. The staff is very welcoming and nice. I would highly recommend it.
Exceptionally great staff. They go above and beyond to make my sons swimming experience great.
This is the best swim school for my 10 month old son in Dallas, and we have tried others! Professional, Clean, Friendly and most important Safety driven as the first priority. The coaches were all experts teaching and in getting their new kids comfortable in the water by the second session and being right next to us teaching and encouraging and nurturing every minute of every lesson weve had. They take a personal interest in every kid. Class size is small and personal.
We have been a part of this school for over 4 months and couldnt have asked for a better first time experience with a swim school. My son LOVES coming here and enjoys all his teachers and the experience. This place has given him a ton of confidence in a short amount of time. Everyone is SO nice and welcoming!
Awesome swim school, the best place to learn swimming so far I know. The facility is very clean and nice, friendly front desk staff, the instructors are very professional they make sure the students are comfortable with the water. we love going there every week.
My son attended Emler for years and it’s a good school but once he was switched to Jim Montgomery Swim School his swimming exponentially improved in a short period of time. He loves his coach and the classes. I’ve really enjoyed seeing him so enthusiastic about swimming and working on each new skill.
We love the Jim Montgomery Swim School! The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, and great with kids. The facility is clean and nice, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Classes always start on time, and theres a viewing room where you can sit and watch your child. My 3 year old has learned some great skills in a short period of time and is excited about learning how to swim. I love that the kids move up levels according to their skills, not just by their age. Coach Jim is around a lot too, which ensures the top quality of their program. Lastly, I think the pricing is very competitive and definitely worth the cost of what you get out of the school!
Pros: Love this swim school! The owner is an Olympian and he is always there observing his instructors and the students. Classes are 1-3 kids which is great. Classes for babies and up thru teens.Cons: I wish there were more weekend classes available so I could have my kids go twice a week.
We are having the best experience at Jim Montgomery Swim School! My almost 5 year old daughter has taken swim lessons from other swim schools since she was an infant with little improvement. Since starting lessons at Jim Montgomery Swim School 2 months ago, she has improved leaps and bounds and is now swimming confidently halfway across the pool and has mastered her rollover and back float! The staff and instructors are all super friendly and helpful. We especially love Coach Anthony and Coach Ellis!!
Im actually one of there students and it is amazing all the coaches are so friendly and very understandable.
Our kids have been going here for a couple years, and the experience has been terrific. Coaches and staff are dedicated & accommodating, and Jim Montgomery is one of the nicest, down to earth guys around. This school is focused on teaching kids swim fundamentals, stroke by stroke, providing a solid foundation. Kids can also participate in summer swim team, which is laid back and fun, or swim in a more advanced league. All in all, we love this place.
This is not a place I want to take my child to after finding out that all the staff is NOT CPR and AED certified. I dont understand how you are supposed to run a swim school and not all your staff is certified.
My 7yo son loves JMSS. He joined their developmental swim team last year, and hes grown in the sport leaps and bound without any pressure or stress. Hes developing at his own pace on his own terms. Swimming is his happy place, and as a parent, Im grateful that weve found a swim program that allows our son to develop the love of swimming in a safe and nurturing environment.
We love Jim Montgomery Swim! My son has been going there for almost two years and they are wonderful. The instructors are so patient, encouraging and informative. Highly recommend it.
Great facility with a very knowledgeable and caring staff. My kids actually cry if we have to miss a lesson; they love the coaches! As a mom, I see steady progress and growing confidence in my little swimmers.
Great facility and staff
Teachers are very knowledgeable and encouraging. Our son takes weekly lessons and Jim is always there monitoring them. Deck supervisors track each childs progression through the program. Weve already seen a huge difference in our sons ability in just the last two months. We think this swim school is wonderful!
The school is awesome. We have been bringing our daughter to the school for almost a year and our 2 yr old loves going to her lessons every week. If for some reason we cant make our lesson, they are very accommodating with rescheduling with us.
I started the Fear of Water class for adults this month. I absolutely love it. Prior to the class, I was afraid to put my head under the water and terrified of the thought of doing anything other than standing in less than 3 feet of water. As of this week, Im much more comfortable. I have learned how to breathe in the water and how to float without panicking. I was able to work at my own pace without feeling pressure because others were advancing quicker. The staff is very friendly and the facility is extremely clean. Thanks Donna and Barbie for your assistance, patience, and making swimming fun. I highly recommend Jim Montgomery Swim School.
Great swim school. The owner is directly involved with the kids and the staff does a great job at all skill levels. The kids get ribbons for achieving goals so they love it.
Simply the best. Dedicated well trained staff. Calm and organized environment. Easy scheduling. Highly recommended.
The staff here is amazing. Both of my kids are in swim school here and I am amazed at the progress they have made. The instructors spend the time that is needed to ensure they get the skills they need to have to be successful at the next level.
We have three children at JMSS ranging from ages 6 to 9 months and we love it! We previously swam at another swim school and the difference is monumental. The teaching styles and techniques immediately taught are far better than weve ever experienced. My children are learning so much so fast! The staff is knowledgeable, well trained and caters to the need of each swimmer to ensure the best experience and learning situations. The best part is that this is a family business. You swim in the presence of an Olympian on a regular basis. Jims daughter Ellis is amazing as well. I will not take my kids anywhere else to swim. I could not be happier.
Great instructed to swimmer ratio. Clean well kept facilities. Wonderful environment for kids to learn to swim and be comfortable in and around water.
