I have been the paid masters coach at our Y for a couple years, and my supervisor wanted to know if this was an anomaly or not. So I am hoping you guys can help me with the following poll. To make it reasonably comparable to our situation, please respond only if your team has at least 10 or so masters swimmers. (Teams with fewer probably do the coaching on an ad hoc basis.)

I go for:
"Our coach gets paid decently plus benefits"
I look for this trait, as the mark of a professional standard.

Compared to another good program I tried for three months starting in September 2002, an amateur type program, my current coach -who "...gets paid decently plus benefits"-, has more responsability and competence at stake towards what he knows of the goals that I stated.
