DeMont Family Swim School

June, we loved you. 🐸☀️ A little dump of our favorite moments from the month:

🌟 A 2-year-old who backfloated ALL by herself (we're not crying, you're crying)
🚂 All aboard the lobby choo-choo train between lessons
🐸 Our tiniest swimmers in Little Froggy (Baby & Me)
💪 Big confidence — independent entries into the water

This is what summer at DeMont looks like. 💙

Swipe through, and tag your little swimmer if you spot them! 👇

Summer's here — and our spots are filling fast. ☀️🐸

A Tucson summer means pools, splash pads, and water everywhere. The safest kids are the ones in consistent lessons — and our most popular class times always go first.

Don't wait until the middle of summer to start. Reserve your child's spot now. 💙

Coach Highlight: meet Coach JP! 🌟🐸

One of the friendly faces who makes lessons something our swimmers actually look forward to — and his story comes full circle. JP learned to swim right here at DeMont as a kid, and now he's the one on the pool deck cheering your little ones on. 💙

A few fun facts about Coach JP:
⭐️ Favorite milkshake flavor: cookies & cream
⭐️ Best superhero: Spiderman
⭐️ Used to swim at DeMont as a kid — now he teaches here!

His coaching philosophy in four words? Teach through play. With a background in Montessori education for ages 3–6, JP knows that the more fun a lesson feels, the faster confidence grows. "Children are the future," he says, "so we give them all the kindness and guidance we can."

Come say hi to Coach JP at your next lesson! 🐸

Yes, our pool is heated to 90° 🌡️

Cozy. Indoor. Open all 12 months.

No shivering. No weather cancellations. No "it's too cold" excuses. Just warm water and happy swimmers, year-round.

Because in Tucson, swim lessons shouldn't stop just because summer does.

Time to bust some swim-lesson myths 🧐

We hear these ALL the time. Let's set the record straight:

❌ "Floaties are okay as a safety device"
→ False. Floaties can slide off and even deflate, which can lead to a dangerous situation. A properly fitted Coast Guard-approved life jacket is a safer option.

❌ "Babies are too young"
→ We start at 3 months. Early water exposure builds comfort and confidence that sticks.

❌ "They'll learn on their own"
→ Some kids figure it out. Most don't — at least not safely. Proper technique prevents bad habits (and scary moments).

❌ "Once they swim, they're drown-proof"
→ No one is. Ever. Swim lessons are one layer of safety. Supervision, fencing, and water awareness are the rest.

Real skills, taught right. That's what we're about.

Carrie and Rick recently had the chance to spend time with Leslie Daland, owner of Daland Swim School. One of the things we love most about the learn-to-swim community is how willing people are to share, support, and help one another grow.

What makes this friendship even more meaningful is that Leslie’s father, Peter Daland, was Rick DeMont’s Olympic coach. The swimming world is a small one. It’s cool to see how these connections continue across generations.

We are grateful for friends like Leslie and for an industry that values collaboration over competition. Together, we make each other better—and ultimately help more families stay safe around the water.
