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

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?
Ande
Does improving my pb by over 1 second in the 50Y fly count as a major breakthrough? My meet yesterday was the final meet of this year and I spent the last 2 weeks working mainly on the fly in hopes of getting a best time. The bulk of my preparation consisted of working on the kicking part of the swim and lots of drills. Also several race pace swims off the blocks where I swam through the turn and 1 stroke past the breakout. I bettered my pb by 1.1 sec. (set1-1/2 years ago) and was 1.4 sec faster than my last meet 2 weeks ago.
