Three hundred and ten swimmers, who are over 13 years old and study at junior high schools, senior high schools, and colleges, served as the subjects of the study. The Chinese version of Chella- durai''''''''s (1994) LSS was adopted in the questionnaires. Simple correlation, one-way MANOVA, one-way ANOVA, and stepwise regression were used to analyze the data. Within the scope of this study, the following conclusion were derived: 1. "Coaches'''''''' behavior" preferred by the swimmers are signi- ficantly related to the swimmers'''''''' perception (except "auto- cratic behavior") . 2. Coaches'''''''' "democratic behavior" and "autocratic behavior" are preferred by male swimmers. For those swimmers who are male, younger, study at junior high schools, or be trained within a short term program, they perceive coaches'''''''' "train- ing and instruction" behavior more. 3. For those swimmers who are younger or study at junior high schools, they are more satisfied with the team performance, while those who are male, younger, study at junior high schools, or be trained within a short term program were more satisfied with the coaches'''''''' leadership. 4. In coaches'''''''' leadership behavior, "rewarding behavior" can predict the self performance''''''''s satisfaction of swimmers; "social support " can predict the team performance''''''''s satis- faction of swimmers; "training and instruction", "autocratic behavior", and "democratic behavior" can validly predict the performance of the swimmers. According to this study, the swim coaches in Taiwan intend to promote swimmer''''''''s performance and satisfaction, they have to strengthen "training and instruction" behavior.
