"What do YOU need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?"

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.

learning to kick fast will make you a faster kicker then you need to train to apply your new kick to your stroke while you're swimming part of kicking faster is develping better feel for the water with your feet and shins fast kicking helps with every stroke SDK is the most important type of kicking to learn and improve fast kicking is mainly for sprinting but when you improve your feel for the water with your kick you get more out of each kick when you 2 beat kick I guess I have a question or at least a thought with pause. This is about your discussions of kicking faster. I think this is well and good but my thought is this: with an extremely fast kick the arm stroke will never be able to keep pace (turnover) with that kind of kick in a true swimming environment. So is the point that in practicing very fast kicking that the "basic" swimming kick gets stronger or strong enough to truly add momentum to the stroke? And is the thought of such a fast kick obviously for only short distances because it will be used primarily for sprinting? And I am speaking only of freestyle here. thanks, donna

I'm making advancements and need help. Can I have some?:bouncing:

What do I need to have a major swimming breakthrough? One of those Borat fastskins!!

What's the worst that could happen? Hmm, you could get in a nude wrestling match with a fat, hairy middle-aged man? (if you've seen the movie you'll know what I'm talking about!)

I have seen the movie. I seem to recall part of the fat mans body coming all to close to Borats nose. Imaginations feel free to wander. Well, aside from this minor issue the suit is probably just what the Dr. ordered Stud.

Here, Here! Decided I can't just rely on dolphin kick for great turns so I'm finally concentrating on not breathing under the flags. How long does it take to get used to doing flip turns without air going in and air coming out? It about killed me this morning.

ew, Sasha commented on that scene when he accepted his golden globe, and the bit about "rancid bubble" was definitely TMI Now let's get back on track "What do YOU need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?"
