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 defintely didn't get the luck of genetics for my swimming (being the slowest person on my swim team :cane:) but I notice I do improve when:
1. I practice more (I am still a pretty new swimmer and find I improve with time).
2. I work on speed work, which has me get used to what meet pace feels like
3. I Work on all the flaws with my stroke. If I fix those flaws, I go faster with less effort.
