OK,
Here is my swimming career in a nutshell. I have started to level off, so I think getting under a minute is going to be hard.

Any chance to get your splits? I see that your 50 was .02 slower but your 100 was 1.5 seconds faster.
So what was your training like in this period of time? With a 1.5 second drop in 6 weeks you must have had a breakthru of some sort. What were you doing then. If you know, then I would do more of that.
How much speed work do you do? Fast 25s and 50s? I mean flat out, nothing left behind work? How about starts and turns? A good start can easily drop .5sec and nailing all three turns can shave another sec at least.
How much SDK work do you do? I dropped 2 seconds in 100m free while sick just by hammering out 2 strong SDKs at the start and off each turn.
What is your breathing pattern? How about your kick? Do you build to a strong kick on the last length?
Are you hitting a tight streamline off every turn?
Sprints in SCY are all about starts and turns because you don't spend
much time in the middle of the pool.
