緒論：臺灣乃海島國家，以熱帶地景與美麗的海岸線著稱，水上休閒活動發達。為 培養國民親水性，坊間游泳課程比比皆是，因而相關教學師資乃值得深入了解之議題。 本研究旨在探討國內游泳教練專業素質，與提升自我專業素質之途徑以及策略。方法： 立意取樣三位具游泳教練資格並全職從事游泳教學者為研究參與者，其中一位為 B 級、 另二位則為 C 級游泳教練，以半結構訪談的方式，深入了解其專業素質、所面臨之困境 與如何克服並自我提升之策略。採敘述探究法，歸納整理訪談逐字稿、攝錄影相檔案和 觀察日誌等質性資料，結果：一、三位研究參與者專業程度不盡相同，反映臺灣游泳教 學入行門檻不高，但皆符合本研究所定義之教練專業素質。二、三位於游泳教學中所面 臨的困難不同，分別為來自長輩的反對意見、商業行銷複雜、教學資源分配不均，以及 學生與家長的態度等。三、三位以網路資訊、參考其他同行之教學經驗與以學生反覆實 驗教學，解決游泳教學中的困難與提升自身專業素質。結論：一、三位參與者皆全職從 事游泳教學多年，其中有二位深入參與游泳場館營運，深具專業素質。二、三位所面臨 的困難不盡相同，主因教練講習機構提供之教學內容和技巧，與教學現場大相逕庭，因 此三位皆以自身與其他同業教學經驗克服困難。三、由於科技日新月異，三位提升專業 素質之途徑與策略多元，對於網際網路的依賴可見一斑。未來本研究可朝如何協助游泳 教練提升專業之方向加以探究。
