Have any of you made huge improvments in your swimming within the past couple of years, or since beginning swimming? If so, what were the improvments you made? What were you doing in training in order to make these improvments?
Have any of you made large improvments recently?

I started swimming competitively on a summer league in the summer of 2004. Back then, I couldn't swim without wearing a ski mask (I couldn't breathe in goggles). I got up to the point that summer where I could do a 50 freestyle, and started learing all four strokes. I also finally was able to breathe wearing regular goggles!
I remember how LONG a 50 used to feel. It felt like it went on forever and ever. My 50s in meets were always around the range of 50 seconds to 1 munute (in a 25 meter pool). Now I can do 50s (in a short course yard pool) in 34 seconds. They also do not feel nearly as long as they used to feel!
