I've been trying to improve my 1500m for a while now but just cant seem to get any faster.I've tried stroke improvement,breathing,and just generally giving it all ive got...it seems that the more i pace myself the (slightly)faster i get but only by seconds.....other things tried..flip turns(these made me slower)..have i got to a personal max that i will not improve upon..if so then im gutted because i had hoped for much better

Things that will help with distance:
Train more yards
Practice long push outs on your flip turns
Train more yards
Make sure you concentrate on every stroke you take so you don't injur yourself
Train more yards
Train long sets (10x500, 30x100, 3x1000)
Train more yards
Do race pace work - 5x100s on 2:30 @ 90% of race pace
Train more yards
And most of of all...
TRAIN MORE YARDS ;)

Training for distance is all about consistent areobic workouts, pace, & stroke technique. Try to get in 5000-7000 yds. a day/5 days a week.
