What do YOU need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?"
I started this thread over in the work outs section which I think doesn't get as much traffic as the general discussion board
so here's the link
forums.usms.org/showthread.php
but my point is,
No matter what, the time between right now and your focus meet is going to pass, and the things you do to prepare for your meet is of the UTMOST importance.
the choices you make
the chances you take
swim hard in practice
rehearse racing
I want to read your story about your breakthrough.
Decide it starts today
that this season will be your best season EVER
What do you need to do to make this true?

I think I need to start consistently strength training. It's always the thing that gets bumped because I don't really enjoy it the way I do aerobic exercise like swimming and running. I also often get sick when I first start back to weights. I don't know if it's because it's hard on my body or if it's because even though I wash my hands as quickly as I can afterwards, lifting at the gyms means touching other people's sweat germs on the equipment. :-) I'm sure lifting would help my starts, push-offs and overall power.
P.S. The dead horse icon makes me sad every time I see it while I'm composing. I know it's silly to feel sorry for a cartoon animal, but I can't help it!
