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?

Other ideas?
1. Stroke mechanics. Always. The best swimmers I know work on stroke mechanics all the time. World records holders work on stroke mechanics all the time. You never get to say, "I'm done", because you're never done. There are always improvements to be made.
2. Execute. Little things matter, make them a habit. Accelerate into every turn. Streamline off every wall. Hands together off every wall. Head down off every wall. Strong breakouts on every length. Strong finish on every interval. Tough to do!
