He coached at USC for 25 years and coached 13 Olympians during his career, also coaching Team USA.<\/p>\n<p>His swimmers set 10 American and two world records and included Olympic medalists <strong>Sandy Neilson, Jill Sterkel, Cynthia Woodhead, Michelle Ford, Anne Ottenbrite<\/strong>. He also placed<strong> Karin LaBarge<\/strong> and <strong>Mike Miao<\/strong> on Olympic teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon inspired in many ways,\u201d Neilson said. \u201cAn arm around the shoulder, an encouraging word, that famous affirming grin, and sometimes even the words: \u2018My grandmother can swim faster than that!\u2019 \u00a0We worked extremely hard for our coach which, for so many of us, proved to be great training for real life. \u00a0The biggest gift Don gave me was the realization that I could swim fast without him by my side.<\/p>\n<p>His son <strong>Ken LaMont<\/strong> coaches at Irvine Novaquatics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSwimming in the 1970s compared to today was a completely different experience.\u00a0 What I do remember was that my dad truly did create a swim team that will can never be duplicated again,\u201d Ken said. \u201cHe made no secret about the fact that he wanted to be the best swim coach he could be.\u00a0 And he understood that to be the best coach, and coach the greatest swimmers, he not only needed hard work in the pool, but a team of swimmers who competed and added to the team environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He had a great impact on other coaches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason I moved to California was because they was a plethora of outstanding club coaches and Don was on of them,\u201d former Olympic coach<strong> Mark Schubert<\/strong> said. \u201cHe always had a number of outstanding teams at El Monte and Industry Hills. We had some great battles on the local, sectional and national level. He went on to USC and a number of my athletes swam for him there and had great experiences. My relationship with Don as a friend was as pool director at USC. It was amazing for me to have a world class coach there to run the facility.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dan D&#8217;Addona and Mike Stott.
