目的：本研究旨在探討跳水教練的工作經驗與歷程。方法：本研究以現象學為研究方法，研究對象包括跳水教練、教師、選手、選手家長，並以深度訪談法蒐集資料。結果：一、教練的工作經驗包括「求職動機、工作內容、工作待遇與工作環境、專業成長、領導選手、工作障礙」等六個部分；二、教練的工作歷程可分為三階段，隨著階段的發展而出現下列變化：（一）選手參與訓練的目的由「運動競技」轉為「健身與才藝培養」、（二）教練的領導行為由「專制」轉為「民主」，教練的訓練方式從「嚴格」轉為「樂趣化」、（三）專業能力日益精進。結論：一、跳水教練對工作的正面經驗勝於負面經驗，因此願意繼續任職；二、跳水教練能因應選手訓練目的的轉變以及選手流失問題而改變領導行為與訓練方式；三、跳水教練由 「生手教練」蛻變成為「專家教練」。
