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
what are your practice times?
Meet times?
calm down and swim meets like practice
you do need to get your legs going on sprints
Hard swims in practice from a push.
50 Free-:28
50 Fly-:29
100 Free-1:00 low
200 Free-2:09
300 Free-3:14've swum other races but I don't generally get times for them in practice. 50 Fly has been from Relay's or IM's.
Out of those, the 500 is the most relaxed for me in a race but still nowhere near as powerful feeling as practice swims, went out in 2:07 at the 200 in that 500.
