How to Include Soft Skill Activities
I’m a software developer and I’m looking to update my resume with some “soft skill activities” that I have done within the past few years. For instance, I started swimming with a local masters team. It’s a volunteer organization with multiple sites and after about a year they asked me to help them coach. I’ve been doing that for a while and I think it has definitely helped with my people skills. In addition, I recently started taking an improv class which has also helped with my people skills.
My question is, what’s the most appropriate place to put information for “soft skill activities”? Do I put both under a miscellaneous umbrella section or put them in different sections?

These things probably belong in a Hobbies section. While they might provide for interesting discussion, I wouldn't emphasize them for a developer position.
