After his playing days, Swartz coached basketball at Wilfrid Laurier University on a volunteer basis in the early 1960s.

He was instrumental in the development of all of KSA's projects: The Kitchener Memorial Auditorium, Jack Couch Park, the Waterloo County Hall of Fame, Lion's Baseball Park, Breithaupt Baseball Park, the Boxing Academy, and the KSA Volunteer's Dinner and Scholarship Program. He also helped to raise funds for many individuals and teams traveling to national and international sport competitions.

    Swartz served on the Board of Governors of the Waterloo County Hall of Fame as secretary and treasurer, and as chairman of the Sports Research Committee.

    He was married to the former Judy Siebert for fifty-one years, and the proud father of four children Nancy, Tom, David and Jennifer. Grandpa to Erin, Meghann, Joel, Laurie, Josh and Kelly.
