- Organized
- Sympathetic

Swimming coaches should be organized and well prepared. Swimming is a sport that depends upon developing a base and following a purposeful progression throughout a season and career.

A coach can learn, develop and enhance these qualities. Some of these skills may already be well developed; others may need improvement.
