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

I've got to get stronger. It'll cost me, but I'm going to join _another_ gym that's 2 blocks from my office, so the weight training has a chance of happening.
Plus, I'm going to try to follow Rich Abrahams advice about swimming slow slower and fast faster. Might have to do more solo training, as our team doesn't change speeds as often as it seems others do.
Another theme for me: focus. I'm at a time in my life where I don't really want to run 10k's, or try to be a triathlete, or spend a lot of time on the couch, etc. It was inspiring being at nationals, and though I got master's PBs, I know I will have more speed if I do a few things but do them consistently and do them well.
