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

One topic of great interest to us all is "What do you need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?" "What do you need to do to significantly improve your swimming times over one season?" Do you have any specific, nitty gritty type suggestions. I think it's really easy to fall into ruts, to just show up and go through the motions rather than seizing the moment while we train. Any one have any thoughts on what we need to do to significantly improve? forums.usms.org/showthread.php

    Originally posted by LindsayNB Do you attribute that improvement to anything in particular? I started training more seriously in October of 2003 (after going through rehab for my shoulder). I increased my yardage from 1500 to 3000 yards/workout over several months. I was consistent with my dryland program (still am). I added more endurance work as well as race pace sets. Ande--good questions. I'll get back to you on that--don't have time right now.
