I think a responsible swimmer is:

courteous (shares lanes and equipment appropriately, shows up on time for practice)
self aware (knows physical limitations and does not subject themselves to obvious injury.)

for me it is a swimmer, who arrvives for training on time, doesn't leave early without a reason, takes prepares his powerdrinks etc himself, makes sure he doesn't forget qeuipment etc too often, talkes to the coach about illness/ injuries before the training, who want's to understand what is he doing rather than just doing "blind" what the coach says, doesn't disturb his/ her swimmates in their training (like hanging around in the middle of the wall for example)...
