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 am trying to break 22 sec (current recent best is 22.51) in the 50 free, 24 in the fly (24.62) and 50:00 (50.86) in the 100 Free.
I had never noticed how poor my EVF was until i was taped last year, I was dragging it back at a 30-45 degree angle sometimes. So I am trying to get that down, but it has been tough when swimming at speed,so I am trying to find that balance between fast turnover and meaningful turnover so i can make sure I get EVF.
Also trying to lose 10 pounds by May, by replacing cokes with water.
Also trying to do race work every thurs and or Friday. My coach gets frustrated when he gives a set of 6 200's and I do a sprint 50 followed by a 50 easy, then skip a 200, then repeat.....but I never get a good chance to work on sprinting, he loves distance sets too much.
Right now I am turning my 50's in 24 high/25 low from a push at the end of practice, not sure how that translates. I went 22 flat with fins last week, but that's really cheating!
