One topic of great interest to us all is
"What do you need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?"
"What do you need to do to significantly improve your swimming times in the days and weeks left in THIS season?"
What I'm looking for are specific, nitty gritty type suggestions.
I think it's really easy to fall into a rut,
to just show up and go through the motions
rather than seizing the moment while we train.
Does anyone have any thoughts on
what we need to do to significantly improve?
I thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss

this topic always interests me
anyone looking to have a breakthrough in 2008?
what is it?
What do you need to do?
Yes.
Tighten up my 200BR and 100FR
200 BR (SCM) went 45 52 52 50 on 12/9 then on 12/16 I went 44 50 53 53
We've decided it's conditioning, and possibly too much focus on turnover too early and thus los of kick discipline and propulsion.
So keep on the form stuff and get in some good race pace BR, making sure I get a 200 in at least weekly.
100FR well my 50 SCY is down to a 28:05 (conv.) and my 100 is around 1:06.66 to 1:07low (on converts). This is cool as hadn't been focused and in shape the last 2 to 3 weeks...Hope I can get a 1:05xx early next year with the right work.
Talking with swimmers I edge in the 50 and get beaten by in the 100 we all decided it's conditioning...so got to work on that by dropping the intervals and doing a 4th swim workout if possible..maybe even just a Saturday Sprint Session warm up sprint a few hundred and warm down.
Other goals; getting my decent SDK to intergrate into a better fly and maybe getting 50 back "kick some ass" relatively speaking. I was not last in anything I did this weekend so that's good.
