Come and join JMSS and be a part of our swim school family. The Jim Montgomery Swim School was founded by Olympic champion Jim Montgomery and his daughter Ellis in 2015 in Dallas. With Jim's background in swimming and Ellis' background in education and early childhood development they pulled together a place where kids can come to learn how to swim while loving and respecting the water. In 2019 JMSS expanded and we currently run two locations both in North Dallas and Flower Mound.

Our indoor heated teaching pools provide a year round environment for our students to learn and grow in their love of swimming. We provide flexible and paid training for all staff members. JMSS is a family business and is a fun and rewarding job experience.

Jim Montgomery Swim School is a family-owned business that teaches all ages and abilities how to love the water and refine technique. Our swim school staff is like our family and it is a fun and flexible job environment. You do not have to have competitive swim experience to be a great teacher, we are here to help you grow and develop into the best instructor possible. Our paid training schedule is flexible to help with those employees who have school and other obligations and we will take you every step of the way.
