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

  • the point I want to make is that the people who are swimming really fast, like Trip Hedrick and Richard Abrams, do have talent, but they are also training to swim very fast. ande Trip Hedrick wrote a very interesting article about his training in the last edition of Minnesota's masters newsletter, if you are interested. I found it very inspiring and helpful; since I do not have regular pool access this year, I have been doing more dryland training.
