Arriving as a walk-on, DeMuro established himself as one of Pitt's most accomplished male swimmers ever. Over his final three seasons, DeMuro went undefeated in intercollegiate competition and was named Pitt's Most Valuable Swimmer each of those years. During his career, the Panthers achieved Eastern supremacy, winning four consecutive Eastern Intercollegiate team championships (1974-77). DeMuro was at the forefront of that success, winning six individual Eastern Intercollegiate titles and twice earning the championship meet's Most Outstanding Performer award. As a senior, he achieved All-America status in the 1650-yard freestyle, becoming Pitt's gold standard for distance swimming. DeMuro participated in the 1976 U.S. Olympic team trials. As a U.S. Masters swimmer, he won three 1650 free national championships. DeMuro's name is inscribed on Pitt's Varsity Walk as a recipient of the Blue-Gold Award.
