The research method used is qualitative research using descriptive methods. The subject of this research includes management and coaches. Data was collected using observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results of this study are that achievement development has been carried out in a planned and programmed manner, the state of the organization has not gone well because it has not referred to Statutes of the Household Budget, facilities and infrastructure are still very limited. Athletes^ achievements so far were participating in the West Java and sporting event in 2022. The study shows that the condition of the club organization is not going well and the management system has not been reorganized regularly. The organization^s work program is not clearly structured because there is no support for facilities and infrastructure due to limited funds. So that in general the implementation of the achievement coaching program carried out a systematic, regular, continuous, planned and programmed with maximum reference to technical training. The existing trainers are of good quality, but the number of trainers is not commensurate with the number of athletes. The number of training facilities and infrastructure is still limited and does not meet Indonesian Swimming Association standards, but the achievements that have been obtained are quite encouraging at the local and regional levels. It is suggested that Arhesa Swimming Club Bandung should improve and develop the organizational system and the pattern of coaching in order to obtain the highest achievements. It is necessary to take an overall coaching step for athletes so that they continue to train continuously, and look for alternative funds or sponsors to add training equipment so that the activeness of athletes in training increases.
