Swimming is one of the sports that has fast pace
in the game. Actually, what is expected from
swimming is health, pleasure, recreation, challenges,
competition and the ability to save lives in an
emergency in the water (David G Thomas, quoted
from Panji Joyo Anggono, 2011). Swimming can be
considered for relaxation and exercise, because in
swimming almost all body muscles are used.
Swimming is a popular sport because it is not only
healthy for the body but it can also be a means of
recreation for the family. Swimming is a very
popular sports and many people like this kind of
sport. It could be seen from the swimming
competitions that were often held.
For this reason, swimming development must be
done at an early age with the aim at improving
swimming skills and mastering swimming
techniques well. In order to have good techniques
and good swimming styles, people can join
swimming coaching. The coaching can be done
anywhere, for example like swimming clubs in
Yogyakarta. In addition, swimming clubs must also
have good club management because management
influences club development. For years, the
achievements of swimming in Yogyakata
experienced rapid progress. This was shown in DIY
2013 and then became the most gold medalist.
According to the background described by the
author, the researchers wanted to know the
management of the swimming club in Yogyakarta
City. Therefore, the researchers put forward the
research with the title of swimming pool
performance management survey in Yogyakarta

4 DATA COLLECTION
TECHNIQUES
The data collection techniques in this study were
donmne by observing, interviewing, distributing
questionnaires based on the grids that researchers
made, and collecting documents on the
administration of swimming clubs in Yogyakarta
City. The following are the data collection
techniques and the research instruments used in the
research.
4.1 Observation
Sugiyono (2009) argues that observation is a
complex process; a process derived from various
biological and psychological processes (the process
of observation and memory). Observations can be
made at the place we are going to examine. Thus, it
is the place where the club is located or in the other
places, like the secretariat office, training ground,
and other parts of the club.
4.2 Interview
Interview is a meeting of two people to exchange
information and ideas through question and answer
so that meaning can be constructed in a particular
topic (Sugiono, 2009). By conducting interviews, the
researchers found out more detailed things from
participants in interpreting situations and phenomena
that cannot be found from observation (Sugiono,
2009). Interview is a communication tool which is
done by asking a number of oral questions from the
data collectors in gaining information and getting the
answers verbally from the respondents or informants
in the form of responses, opinions, beliefs, results of
thoughts and knowledge of someone about
everything asked relating to the problem.
