All athletes need coordination, even swimmers and runners who don't seem like they are doing much. Think about the different swim strokes, like the butterfly which has complicated upper body movements. Even swimming the freestyle, swimmers must coordinate their arms and their legs to move at the same time but make different motions in order to swim fast.
