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?

I find that I need to "learn to swim fast". By this, I mean most of the time you are building up in the season to a final meet. In this build up time most of workout is focused on endurance but then in the final 6 weeks before the meet I switch to "learning to swim fast". Taper is the ultimate test but I find that periodically I need to continue to swim beyond the final meet. When I do this my base is set at a whole new level and the times drop accordingly.
